Chapter 7 Physical Interfaces

7.1 Ethernet Ports

An Ethernet interface is a physical interface for connection to the local network or external
networks.
ETH1 - ETH4
If the switch ports (ETH1 - ETH4) are separated from each other, each separated port is
assigned the desired Ethernet interface in the Ethernet Interface Selection field of the
Port Configuration menu. For each assigned Ethernet interface, another interface is dis-
played in the list in the Port Configuration menu and a completely independent configura-
tion of the interface is possible.
Note
The Ethernet ports of the four-port switches are assigned to a single Ethernet interface
in ex works state. The Ethernet interface, en1-0, is pre-configured with the IP Address
and Netmask
To ensure your device can be reached, when splitting ports make sure that Ethernet inter-
face is assigned - with the preconfigured IP address and netmask - to a port that
can be reached via Ethernet. If in doubt, carry out the configuration using a serial connec-
tion via the console interface.
VLANs for Routing Interfaces
Configure VLANs to separate individual network segments from each other, for example
(e.g. individual departments of a company) or to reserve bandwidth for individual VLANs
when managed switches are used with the QoS function.

7.1.1 Port Configuration

Port Separation
Your device makes it possible to run the four switch ports as one interface or to logically
separate these from each other and to configure them as independent Ethernet interfaces.
