Table 12-3: Ethernet Groups Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
Index (Read-only) Displays the index number for the table row.
Name
group
[EtherGroupTable_Group]
(Read-only) Displays the Ethernet Group number.
Mode
mode
[EtherGroupTable_Mode]
Defines the mode of operation of the ports in the Ethernet Group. This
applies only to Ethernet Groups containing two ports.
[2] 1RX/1TX = (Default) At any given time, only one of the ports in
the Ethernet Group transmits and receives packets. If a link exists
on both ports, the active one is either the first to have a link up or
the lower-numbered port if both have the same link up from start.
[3] 2RX/1TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive
packets, but only one port can transmit. The transmitting port is
determined arbitrarily by the device. If the selected port fails at a
later stage, a switchover to the redundant port is done, which
begins to transmit and receive.
[4] 2RX/2TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive and
transmit packets. This option is currently not relevant and should
not be used.
[5] Single = Select this option if the Ethernet Group contains only
one port.
[6] None = Select this option to remove all ports from the Ethernet
Group.
Note: It is recommended to use the 2RX/1TX option. In such a setup,
the ports can be connected to the same LAN switch or each to a
different switch where both are in the same subnet.
Member 1
member1
[EtherGroupTable_Member1]
Assigns the first port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set this
field to None.
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group,
you must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To
remove the port, either set this field to None or to a different port.
