Page 6: Bandwidth Control
IP-Less Management in HOST/REMOTE configurations A proprietary, secure management communication channel is supported whenever the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II unit is connected directly to an iMcV-GigaFiberLinX-II unit over the Fiber Uplink. This secure communication channel does not require any pre-configuration or IP address assignment. It automatically establishes an integrated Host-Remote management connection between these units, allowing them to be managed as a single unit, as long as the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II unit is set to a unit via the DIP Switch setting. -

Page 8: Snmp, Telnet And Console Management
SNMP, Telnet and Console Management SNMP, Telnet, and iConfig management channels are always supported through the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II Uplink Port. This provides a higher level of security so end users cannot access management, alter settings, etc. Management through other ports can be supported through unit configuration. In order for the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II to support SNMP management, the unit must be assigned IP configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.) There are five ways to do so:... -

Space Bar Device-Specific Configuration Options The Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II also includes several device-specific options. To access these options, press the Spacebar from the Command List section of the Main Configuration screen, type the name of the action you want to perform (as shown below) and press Enter.

*A reboot may be required for some configuration changes to take effect. Downloading Files Firmware and configuration files for the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II can be downloaded from a central server via TFTP protocol. Initiate this download via console configuration or Telnet session. To download a file, type download and press Enter to be taken to the Download a file screen. - Page 15 connection between ports includes management. Management can be assigned a VLAN. Mode 5 Only accepts untagged traffic at the Downlink Ports. All Uplink traffic is tagged. Each Downlink Port adds a Qualified or Not Qualified VLAN tag to all ingress traffic. Management only accepted from Uplink Port and can be assigned a VLAN.
- Page 16 Mode 1—Untagged Frames Only In this mode, the unit functions as a managed MAC layer switch with management only accepted on the fiber Uplink and no VLAN support. Mode 2—Mixed Tagged and Untagged Frames (Default) When Management can be VLAN tagged, the following screen is given for configuration.
- Page 17 Mode 3— Mixed Tagged and Untagged, Block MGMT Domain...
- Page 18 Mode 4— Port Based Forwarding Port Based Forwarding selection is done on the following screen: Mode 5—Port Based VLANs Only untagged frames are delivered to the Downlinks.
- Page 19 Each port can assign two different VLANs based on the ingress frame classification. For untagged frames, the DiffServ priority value of the IP frame can be used for classification. This screen allows the user to select any of the 64 values. In addition the user must identify whether non-IP frames are also classified.
- Page 20 Mode 6—Port Based Extra Tag In this mode both untagged and tagged frames can enter the drop ports. Two VLANs per port can be assigned based on ingress frames classification.
- Page 21 In this mode both tagged and untagged frames can enter the drop port. Tagged frames can now be classified based on the PRI value within the incoming VLAN tag. Any PRI value can be used to classify the frame.
- Page 22 Mode 7— Port Based Extra Tag, Infrastructure...
- Page 23 Mode 7 allows the user to define whether a port is a Trunk (passes everything, including management), or a Drop (can add/remove VLAN tags). Unit management is also enabled through any Trunk port. Once a port is defined as a Drop Port, additional screens are provided to assign VLAN values based on the classification of the incoming frame.
- Page 24 Mode 7 also allows the user to define whether PRI or DiffServ values are used to classify incoming frames and whether non-IP frames are classified. Classification is done on a port-by-port basis.
- Page 25 Mode 8—VLAN Assigned Mode 8 allows up to 64 VLAN IDs to be defined. Each port can be a tags or No-tags member of a defined VLAN. A tags member port will allow these tagged frames to enter/exit the port. A No-tags member port will add this frame at egress. Only one No-tag VLAN can be assigned to a given port, but any or all defined tags can be assigned as tags for a given port.
- Page 26 Only one No-tags can be assigned to a port; this indicates that all frames entering the port that do not match the assigned members VLAN-ID list are given this indicated tag. All frames leaving the port with this tag will have it removed. Assigned tag frames (tags) will pass through this port without changes.
- Page 27 Bandwidth Limiting Bandwidth Limiting can be set per port in both transmit and receive directions. The limiting function provides a Leaky Bucket traffic shaping function when placed on the TX side of a port. When the transmit limit is reached on a port, it will stop transmitting until the bucket level falls below the set level.

Page 28: Port Configuration
Port Configuration The Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II Downlink Ports can be configured via console configuration. Type ports and press Enter to be taken to the Port Configuration screen. From this screen, users can enable/disable ports and set Auto Negotiation and Flow Control functions, etc. (This can also be performed via iView².) When a port is disabled, it will no longer show LINK or send any traffic to the port. - Page 29 System Descriptions This screen allows the user to define unit and port names that are incorporated by the unit into all SNMP traps. These are extremely useful in troubleshooting the system. Firmware and Unit Version Information To help maintain Software revision control, these reference numbers are always updated whenever unit software is downloaded to the equipment.
