Configuring Ethernet Ports Mode

ODU Mode

This parameter controls the ODU mode with two optional values:
•
•
Changing these modes requires system reset.
Note

IDU Aging time

This parameter controls the IDU aging time.
The aging time parameter controls the time after which each MAC address
is dropped from the MAC address learning table.
The default value is 300 seconds.

Note
The following table shows the appropriate configuration for several common
scenarios. Both link sites must be configured with the same parameter:

Standard (default) Configuration for Ethernet
Applications
Rapid network topology changes where fast
aging is required
Configuring Ethernet Ports Mode
The ODU Ethernet port is configured to auto-detect by default and may not
be changed.
The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT)
and duplex mode (half or full duplex).
An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex
mode are detected automatically using auto-negotiation. Use manual con-
figuration when attached external equipment does not support auto-negoti-
ation. The default setting is Auto Detect.
You should not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer
connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management
disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.
Caution
WinLink™ 1000 User Manual
Hub Mode - in Hub mode the ODU transparently forwards all packets
over the wireless link.
Bridge Mode - In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and
aging, forwarding only relevant packets over the wireless link. The
aging time of the ODU is fixed at 300 seconds.
Any change to these parameters is effective immediately.
Each side of the link can be configured separately, with different
aging times.
