ports is not accessible to one another; the only connection between them can be
established by cross connecting them with media streams (VoIP calls).
The port names (strings) displayed in the Ethernet Group Settings table represent the
physical ports on the device. For the mapping of these strings to the physical ports, see
'Configuring Physical Ethernet Ports' on page 105.
The following procedure describes how to configure Tx/Rx mode in the Web interface. You
can also configure this using the table ini file parameter, EtherGroupTable or CLI
command, configure voip/ether-group.
Notes:
• 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 the
'Member' field to None or to a different port.
• Two different MAC addresses are assigned to the Ethernet ports: one to ports GE
1-4 (upper ports) and another to ports GE 5-8 (lower ports).
• When implementing 1+1 Ethernet port redundancy, please adhere to the following
guidelines:
√ Each port in the Ethernet Group (port pair) must be connected to a different
switch (but in the same subnet).
√ Ports with the same MAC address (e.g., GE 1-4 ports) must each be connected
to a different Layer-2 switch (as the ports share the same MAC address).
To configure Ethernet Groups:
1. Open the Ethernet Group Settings page (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Network
> Ethernet Groups Table).
2. If the port that you want to assign to a specific Ethernet Group is already associated
with another Ethernet Group, you must first remove the port from the currently
associated Ethernet Group before you can associate it with the desired Ethernet
Group:
a. Select the Ethernet Group to which the port is currently associated, and then click
Edit; the following dialog box appears:
Figure 12-3: Ethernet Group Settings Page
b. Set the 'Member 1' or 'Member 2' field (depending on where the port appears) to
None (or to a different port).
c. Click Submit; the port is removed from the Ethernet Group.
3. Select the Ethernet Group that you want to configure and associate a port(s), and then
click Edit.
4. Configure the Ethernet Group according to the parameters described in the table
below.
5. Click Submit, and then save ("burn") your settings to flash memory.
