Table 12-2: Ethernet Group Settings Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
Group
CLI: group
[EtherGroupTable_Group]
(Read-only) Displays the Ethernet Group number.
Mode
CLI: mode
[EtherGroupTable_Mode]
Defines the mode of operation of the ports in the Ethernet Group.
This applies only to Ethernet Groups containing two ports.

[2] 1RX/1TX = (Default) At any given time, only a single port in
the Ethernet Group can transmit and receive packets. If a link
exists on both ports, then the active one is either the first to have
a link up or the lower-numbered port if both have the same link
up from start.

[3] 2RX/1TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive
packets, but only one port can transmit. The transmitting port is
determined arbitrarily by the device. If the selected port fails at a
later stage, a switchover to the redundant port is done, which
begins to transmit as well as receive.

[4] 2RX/2TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive and
transmit packets. This option is applicable only to the
Maintenance interface for High Availability (HA) deployments. For
more information, see Network Topology Types and Rx/Tx
Ethernet Port Group Settings on page
527 .

[5] Single = If the Ethernet Group contains only one port, use this
option.

[6] None = If no port is assigned to the Ethernet Group, use this
option.
Notes:

It is recommended to use the 2RX/1TX option. In such a setup,
the ports can be connected to the same LAN switch or each to a
different switch where both are in the same subnet.

For Ethernet Group settings for the Maintenance interface when
implementing High Availability, see Initial HA Configuration on
page
527 .
Member 1
CLI: member1
[EtherGroupTable_Member1]
Assigns the first port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set
this field to
None .
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group,
you must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To
remove the port, either set this field to
None or to a different port.
Member 2
CLI: member2
[EtherGroupTable_Member2]
Assigns the second port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port,
set this field to
None .
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group,
you must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To
remove the port, either set this field to
None or to a different port.
