Ethernet Port Configuration
NOTE: Traffic may be briefly disrupted when Ethernet port configuration changes are applied.
On each Ethernet and Ethernet like port, you may configure various types of parameters,
where not all features are supported on all port types and for all models.
This section will provide a general description of the Ethernet configuration procedure for all
ports, where the differences between port types and models will be indicated where relevant.
Each group of parameters will be explained in detail in the relevant section.
To access the Ethernet Port Configuration dialog
1. In the Network Element tree, click Ethernet Ports and choose the desired Ethernet port
or choose the port(s) from the Glance View. The corresponding Ethernet port pane
appears.
ETH-5/6 port configuration requires SFP-1 pluggable module configuration in advance.
If Modules Configuration is set as Automatically, then SFP-1 and ETH-5/6 are both
auto-provisioned. If Modules Configuration is set as Manually, then ETH-5/6 should
be manually configured.
2. In the Configuration area, click the Configure button. The Configure Ethernet Port
dialog box appears. The example below shows the service Ethernet port dialog. However,
other dialogs are similar in appearance, where irrelevant options are disabled.
