Selecting The Frame Format For An Ethernet Port - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Figure 29 shows the logical binding of the Ethernet port at slot 0 on port 0 to the IP interface lan which is
defined in the IP context router.
This procedure describes how to bind the Ethernet port to an already existing IP interface
Mode: Configure
Step
1 node (cfg)#port ethernet slot port
2 node (prt-eth)[ slot/port ]#bind interface name router
Example: Binding an Ethernet port to an IP interface
The following example shows how to bind the Ethernet port on slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode 1000, 2000,
or 4000 series device to an already existing IP interface lan.
SN(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]#bind interface lan router

Selecting the frame format for an Ethernet port

The frame format defines the logical grouping of information sent as a data link layer unit over a transmission
medium. Depending on the components receiving data sent from a SmartNode via an Ethernet connection the
frame format has to be specified. The command frame-format allows you to set the sending either of IEEE
802.3 or IEEE 802.1Q frames. Supported command options are:
• dot1q—Sends VLAN-tagged IEEE 802.1Q frames used for virtual LANs
