Total Access 5000 Business Services Deployment Guide
Provision the Network Port Modes
This section details the following information:
• Provision the network port modes
• Provision the gigabit‐ethernet speed
Network Port Mode Descriptions
In the Total Access 5000 System Release 5.1, a Switch Module Gigabit‐Ethernet network
interface can operate in four modes. Refer to Table 3‐3 for the GigE SM Network Operation
modes.
Mode

Unused
Uplink
Downlink
Table 3‐4 displays the Total Access 5000 network port system defaults.

Table 3-3. GigE SM Network Operation Modes
Description
If a port is designated as the Ethernet default interface and the network
node is set to 1, it is automatically placed in Network Interface mode and
is not designated as downlink.
If a port is not designated as the Ethernet default interface or set as a
downlink, it is unused.
If a port is designated as the Ethernet default interface and the network
node is greater than 1, it is automatically placed in Uplink mode and is
not designated as downlink. Equivalent to enabling Upstream Chaining
in prior Total Access 5000 releases.
A port is set in downlink as follows:
1. From the Enable prompt, type
E
NTER
to access the Global Configuration prompt.
2. From the Global Configuration prompt, type
gigabit-ethernet <shelf/slot/port>
3. From the Gigabit Ethernet Interface Configuration prompt, type
downlink
Equivalent to enabling Downstream Chaining in prior Total Access 5000
releases. This is the only mode that is not a result of Ethernet default
interface and node number provisioning. It must be explicitly set.
