Ethernet Data Port Parameters
The data Ethernet ports Ge 1 and Ge 2 are bonded together, as are Ge 3 and Ge 4.
Each port of a pair transmits the same IP traffic. If the IP address, or subnet mask of
a secondary port is set to 0.0.0.0, then it will be assumed that it is operating in a
mirrored redundancy configuration with the primary port, and therefore has the same
IP address and subnet mask.
VLAN Tagging
VLAN tagging is supported on the Data Output interfaces. To configure VLAN, browse to
Device Configuration > Advanced Setup and select Vlan Group in the appropriate output
under the Vlan Tags folder. Alternatively, you can also use the front panel to set up VLANs.
The settings can be found under Advanced/System/Base Unit/Vlan Tags.
The data Ethernet ports are configured by the parameters listed in the following
table.
Table 3.3 Ethernet Data Port Parameters
Parameter Values Description Comments
Network Mode Same Network [default]
The interface pair is on the same
subnet.
Different Network
The interface pair is on different
subnet.
IP Redundancy Mode Active-Active
The same traffic is present on both
interfaces all the time.
If Network Mode is set to Different
Network then Active-Active is set and
becomes read only.
Active-Standby
The secondary interface is active
only if the primary is down.
Active Interface Primary, Secondary The currently active interface Read only parameter
Line Speed Auto The connection speed
100 Mbps
1 Gbps
Duplex Mode Auto [default] Auto negotiate the mode
Full Duplex Simultaneously transmit and receive
Half Duplex
Transmit and receive in a time
division manner
Default Virtual MAC
Address
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
The virtual MAC address of the Gex
interface.
Read only parameter
IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Virtaul IP address of the data
interface group
Must be unique
Will be used as source address for
multicast output.
Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0 [default]
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Subnet mask for the data interface
group
Default Gateway 0.0.0.0 [default] No defined gateway
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Gateway address for packets
outside the defined subnet
IGMP mode selection IGMP v3 Uses version 3 of the IGMP protocol
