Configuring Underlying Ethernet Devices

The Ethernet Devices table lets you configure up to 16 Ethernet Devices. An Ethernet
Device represents a Layer-2 bridging device and is assigned a VLAN ID and an Ethernet
Group (Ethernet port group). Multiple Ethernet Devices can be associated with the same
Ethernet Group. The Ethernet Device (VLAN) can be configured with a VLAN tagging
policy, which determines whether the Ethernet Device accepts tagged or untagged packets
received on the Ethernet port associated with the Ethernet Device.
Once configured, assign the Ethernet Device to an IP network interface in the IP Interfaces
table ('Underlying Device' field) and/or with a static route in the Static Routes table ('Device
Name' field). You can assign the same Ethernet Device to multiple IP network interfaces
and thereby, implement multi-homing (multiple addresses on the same interface/VLAN).
By default, the device provides a pre-configured Ethernet Device at Index 0 with the
following settings:

Name: "vlan 1"

VLAN ID: 1

Ethernet Group: GROUP 1

Tagging Policy: Untagged

MTU: 1500
The pre-configured Ethernet Device is associated with the default IP network interface (ie.,
OAMP) in the IP Interfaces table. The Untagged policy of the pre-configured Ethernet
Device enables you to connect to the device using the default OAMP interface.
You can view configured Ethernet Devices that have been successfully applied to the
device (saved to flash) in the Ethernet Device Status table. This page is accessed by

packets, but only one port can transmit. The transmitting port is
determined arbitrarily by the device. If the selected port fails at a
later stage, a switchover to the redundant port is done, which
begins to transmit and receive.

[4] 2RX/2TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive and
transmit packets.

[5] Single = Select this option if the Ethernet Group contains only
one port.

[6] None = Select this option to remove all ports from the Ethernet
Group.
Note:

It is recommended to use the 2RX/1TX option. In such a setup, the
ports can be connected to the same LAN switch or each to a
different switch where both are in the same subnet.
Assigns the first port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set this
field to None.
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group,
you must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To
remove the port, either set this field to None or to a different port.
Assigns the second port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set
this field to None.
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group,
you must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To
remove the port, either set this field to None or to a different port.
