Chapter 53 Configuring IPv4 for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
Basic Gigabit Ethernet Configuration for IPv4
Tip Gigabit Ethernet ports on any IPS module or MPS-14/2 module should not be configured in the same
Ethernet broadcast domain as the management Ethernet port. They should be configured in a different
broadcast domain, either by using separate standalone hubs or switches or by using separate VLANs.
Basic Gigabit Ethernet Configuration for IPv4
Figure 53-1 shows an example of a basic Gigabit Ethernet IP version 4 (IPv4) configuration.
Figure 53-1 Gigabit Ethernet IPv4 Configuration Example
Note The port on the Ethernet switch to which the MDS Gigabit Ethernet interface is connected should be
configured as a host port (also known as access port) instead of a switch port. Spanning tree
configuration for that port (on the Ethernet switch) should be disabled. This helps avoid the delay in the
management port coming up due to delay from Ethernet spanning tree processing that the Ethernet
switch would run if enabled. For Cisco Ethernet switches, use either the switchport host command in
Cisco IOS is or the set port host in Catalyst OS. Refer to the configuration guide for your Ethernet
switch.
To configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Interfaces > Ethernet > IPS.
You see the Gigabit Ethernet Configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the IP Addresses tab.
Step 3 Click Create Row.
You see the Create Gigabit Ethernet Interface dialog box.
Step 4 Select the switch on which you want to create the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Step 5 Enter the interface. For example 2/2 for slot 2, port 2.
Step 6 Enter the IPv4 address (10.1.1.100) and subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
Step 7 Click Create to save these changes or click Close to discard any unsaved changes.
