3.6 How to Configure Ethernet Data Ports
Overview
Four gigabit Ethernet ports are provided for data input and output.
Figure 3.3 Ethernet Data Port Numbering
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 parameters controlling Ethernet port are as shown in the following table.
