Ethernet Port Equipment and Port Configuration
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet Ports Configuration options are used to configure the Ethernet attributes on
various types of ports in the unit: Ethernet service ports, Colan port, SFP port and HSL ports.
The Ethernet configuration dialogs are invoked for each specific port and are similar in
appearance. However, not all attributes are relevant for all types of ports. For example, some
of the Physical Interface options which are accessible on Ethernet service ports dialogs are
not relevant (and so not accessible) on the HSL Ethernet configuration dialog.
The ML allows simultaneous configuration of the same attributes to a number of ports, by
selecting all requested ports through the Ethernet Ports Table pane.
Note the following:
Some Ethernet ports correspond to installed SFP ports (where relevant) - according to
their location.
COLAN port - The COLAN (MGMT) Port by factory setup, is dedicated for out-of-band
Management but can be used also as a service port. Ensure that there are no Ethernet
loops between the COLAN (MGMT), ETH and HSL ports (use STP if required). To
dedicate the COLAN (MGMT) Ethernet port for service purposes, see Traffic VLAN
Procedure. In addition, port priority and pinout must be changed according to your setup.
To dedicate the COLAN (MGMT) Ethernet port for management purposes, see
Management VLAN Procedure (on page 8-3).
