Configuring LAN Cards
LAN cards are supported in the FRX8000 Enterprise Switch for IP routing across the
network, and in the ICP, INM, and NMP for local FTP and telnet file operations.
To configure a record for a LAN card, press
[B]
at the Configure Cards Menu (or
[A],
[C], [B]
from the Main Menu). When prompted, enter:
●
Node number
(of the node containing the LAN card):
1–250
.
●
Card number
:
0
or
1
.
If one LAN card is installed, it is number
0
. If two cards are present,
the first one installed is 0. The file PROTOCOL.INI (described on
page 6-19) contains information that identifies each card as 0 or 1.
A Model 2 platform cannot contain two Intel Ethernet cards. Also,
if the node contains one Intel Ethernet card and One SMC
Ethernet card, card
0
must be the Intel card.
●
Any other request information, noting Table 5-7 .
When Changes Take Effect
When you add a new LAN card record, the change will be written to the database as
soon as you enter the final parameter value. When you modify an existing record, the
change will be written to the database immediately.
The change can be implemented on the card by performing a Configuration Update
( [B], [B], [D], [A] from the Main Menu) to the node containing the card.
