Chapter 14: Getting Started (CLI)
Configuring Cascading Interfaces (Optional) (CLI)
Ethernet interfaces 1 and 2 (GbE1/CS1 and GbE2/CS2) can be configured as normal GE traffic interfaces or as
cascading interfaces. When operating in cascading mode, these interfaces can handle hybrid Ethernet and Native
TDM traffic, enabling operators to create links among multiple units in a node for multi-directional applications
based on hybrid Ethernet and Native or pseudowire TDM services.
Note
You cannot change the status of an interface (Cascading or Ethernet) if a service point is configured
on the interface.
You cannot change the status of an interface (Cascading or Ethernet) if the interface belongs to a
LAG.
You cannot set Auto Negotiation to On while the interface is configured as a Cascading interface.
To configure an interface as a cascading interface, go to interface view for the interface and enter the following
command:
eth type eth [1/2]> port-cascading-set cascading <cascading>
To display whether or not an interface is configured as a cascading interface, go to interface view for the interface
and enter the following command:
eth type eth [1/1]> port-cascading-show
Table 132 Cascading Interface CLI Parameters
Parameter Input Type
cascading Boolean
For example, the following commands configure Ethernet port 2 as a cascading interface:
root> ethernet interfaces eth slot 1 port 2
eth type eth [1/2]> port-cascading-set cascading Cascading
Permitted Values Description
Cascading ethernet Cascading – The interface is configured as a
cascading interface.
ethernet – The interface is configured as a
non-cascading Ethernet interface.
