The local management connection uses PTP 820G management interface 1. The LED on the upper left of the
MGMT port is Green when the interface is enabled and the link is operational. See
Ethernet Management Interface
LEDs .
The inter-unit protection connection uses PTP 820G management interface 2. The LED on the upper right of the
MGMT port is Green when the interface is enabled and the link between the IDUs is operational. See

Configuring Ethernet Interface Protection
No special software configuration is required for Optical Splitter and Electrical Splitter modes.
For Line Protection mode, you must perform the following steps:
1. Configure the GbE ports on the external switch in LACP mode. The external switch must support LACP.
2. Connect a GbE port on the external switch to a GbE port on each of the PTP 820G units.
3. Enable LACP on the GbE ports on the PTP 820G that are connected to the external switch:
i. Select Ethernet > Interfaces > Logical Interfaces . The Logical Interfaces page opens ( Figure 214 ).
ii. Select the interface and click Edit . The Logical Interfaces – Edit page opens.
