Ethernet interfaces
Ethernet interfaces can be used in LAN or WAN. There is no IP configuration set on the individual
Ethernet interfaces. Instead, the IP configuration is set as part of configuring the LANor WAN.
For more information on WANs, see Wide Area Networks (WANs).
For more information on LANs and their configuration, see About Local Area Networks (LANs).
Configure Ethernet interfaces
To configure an Ethernet interface, you must configure the following items:
Required configuration items
n Enable the Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interfaces are all enabled by default. You can set
the Ethernet interface to enabled or disabled.
n Once configured, the Ethernet interface must be assigned to a LAN or a WAN. For more
information, see About Local Area Networks (LANs) and Configure a LAN or Wide Area
Networks (WANs) and Configure a Wide Area Network (WAN).
Additional configuration items
The following items are not required to configure a working Ethernet interface, but can be configured
as needed:
n A description of the Ethernet interface.
n The duplex mode of the Ethernet interface. This defines how the Ethernet interface
communicates with the device to which it is connected. The duplex mode defaults to auto,
which means the TransPort device negotiates with the connected device on how to
communicate.
n The speed of the Ethernet interface. This defines the speed at which the Ethernet interface
communicates with the device to which it is connected. The Ethernet speed defaults to auto,
which means it negotiates with the connected device as to what speed should be used.
