The Ethernet management interface is enabled.

Note
In release 10.6, only Ethernet Slot 1, Port 7 is supported, along with the radio and management
interfaces. In release 10.9, Ethernet Slot 1, Ports 3 through 7 are supported.
The QSFP port (Port 4), is displayed as follows.
•
In a 4x1/10G configuration the QSFP port can provide four Ethernet interfaces: Eth3, Eth4, Eth 5, and Eth6. In
this configuration, a QSFP transceiver is attached to the QSFP port, and an MPO-MPO cable is connected
between the transceiver and a splitter on the other side of the link. The splitter splits the traffic between four
Ethernet cables connecting the splitter to the customer equipment.
