Table 12-2: Physical Ports Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
General
Index (Read-only) Displays the index number for the table row.
Name
port
[PhysicalPortsTable_Port]
(Read-only) Displays the Ethernet port number. See the figure
in the beginning of this section for the mapping between the
GUI port number and the physical port on the chassis.
Description
port-description
[PhysicalPortsTable_PortDescription]
Defines a description of the port.
By default, the value is "User Port #<row index>".
Note: Each row must be configured with a unique name.
Mode
mode
[PhysicalPortsTable_Mode]
(Read-only) Displays the mode of the port.
 [0] Disable
 [1] Enable (default)
Speed and Duplex
speed-duplex
[PhysicalPortsTable_SpeedDuplex]
Defines the speed and duplex mode of the port.
 [0] 10BaseT Half Duplex
 [1] 10BaseT Full Duplex
 [2] 100BaseT Half Duplex
 [3] 100BaseT Full Duplex
 [4] Auto Negotiation (default)
 [6] 1000BaseT Half Duplex
 [7] 1000BaseT Full Duplex
Ethernet Group
Member of Ethernet Group
group-member
[PhysicalPortsTable_GroupMember]
(Read-only) Displays the Ethernet Group to which the port
belongs.
To assign the port to a different Ethernet Group, see
''Configuring Ethernet Port Groups'' on page 136.
Group Status
group-status
[PhysicalPortsTable_GroupStatus]
(Read-only) Displays the status of the port:
 "Active": Active port. When the Ethernet Group includes
two ports and their transmit/receive mode is configured to
2RX 1TX or 2RX 2TX, both ports show "Active".
 "Redundant": Standby (redundant) port.
12.3 Configuring Ethernet Port Groups
The Ethernet Groups table lets you configure Ethernet Groups. An Ethernet Group
represents a physical Ethernet port(s) on the device. You can assign an Ethernet Group
with one, two, or no ports (members). When two ports are assigned to an Ethernet Group,
1+1 Ethernet port redundancy can be implemented in your network. In such a
configuration, one port can be active while the other standby or both ports can be active,
depending on the ports' transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) settings. This provides port
redundancy within the Ethernet Group, whereby if a port is disconnected the device
switches over to the other port in the Ethernet Group. If you configure an Ethernet Group
with only one port, the Ethernet Group operates as a single port (no redundancy).
