Port Types

Before a port can be configured, the slot must be provisioned with a card type and MDA type
specified.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS routers support the following port types:

7210 SAS E Interface Configuration Guide
Ethernet — Supported Ethernet port types include10/100/1000 BaseT and 100/1000 fiber
ports. Access uplink ports must be configured as access uplink. The default is access.
→ Access ports — Configured for customer facing traffic on which services are
configured. If a Service Access Port (SAP) is to be configured on the port, it must be
configured as an access port. When a port is configured for access mode, the
appropriate encapsulation type must be configured to distinguish the services on the
port. Once a port has been configured for access mode, one or more services can be
configured on the port depending on the encapsulation value.
→ Access uplink ports — Configured for network facing traffic. These ports participate
in the service provider transport or infrastructure network. QinQ is supported on
access uplink ports. These ports are similar to network mode ports configured in the
Alcatel-Lucent's 7750 SR,7710 SR, and 7450 ESS service routers, and in some
aspects, like ingress QoS policies apply per port for access uplink ports.
