Ethernet Control Port Parameters
A single IP port is defined for all Ethernet control traffic to and from the chassis. The
physical ports used for Ethernet control are by default the control Ethernet ports.
The control ports can raise an alarm during abnormal operational conditions.
The parameters defining the control Ethernet port are as shown in the following
table.
