Configuring a Node with ES Net and BNIC Card
Figure 8 shows a node with the connection to an external network through a BNIC card.
Configure the following options in the ES Net Card configuration dialog for each node in Table 5. The BNIC port options are non-configurable.

Port D
As the ES Net card is used to bridge the BNIC and the CPU card, you must configure Port D of the ES Net as Panel Net so that the connection is
supervised.
Panel Net Ports
Use the Panel Net port type to connect Ethernet slave cards, such as a BNIC, to the CPU card. This port type provides supervision of the link and
declares a port trouble if the link goes down.
