Configure A Port - LightSand S-2500B Installation And User Manual

Configure a Port

The following shows the level-specific prompt, the "?" request and the list of valid commands:
gateway/config/port# ?
Sub-Context: ether fc sonet efc wan
Cur-Context: (none)
The OC-48 card used in the S-2500B has the following ports:
WAN 1 : a Wide Area Network port which can be configured to SONET protocol.
•
• EFC 1, 2 and 3 : can be configured to FC (Fibre Channel) or GbE (Gigabit Ethernet).
NOTE: Configure only the ports that are needed at this time. Other ports can be
configured at a later time without interrupting service, but returning a port to
unconfigured status requires shutting the system down.
NOTE: Two systems in a point to point connection must have their ports configured
identically.
A separate set of commands is available for each port type. To access those commands a port
number must be specified with the type. Use the CLI help or ? for a list of commands.
Example: View the commands available for WAN 1:
gateway/config/port# wan 1
gateway/config/port/wan/1# help commands
Example: Configure WAN 1's type to SONET:
gateway:> config port wan 1
gateway/config/port/wan/1# type sonet
enter sync-mode <line-timing | internal-timing> [line-timing] : inter
gateway/config/port/wan/1#
Once a port's type has been configured, its attributes can be set.
Example: Set the description of WAN 1 (which is now SONET 1):
gateway/config/port# sonet 1
gateway/config/port/sonet/1# descr "sonet port"
