Port Diversity Configuration
This feature must be used in a setup with multiple (i.e., two or more) switches. The
switches need to be running Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP).
See Appendix E. PORT DIVERSITY for detailed information on using this feature.

The acceptable/valid operating ranges for items in this section are provided in parentheses.
Typical for either page section/version:
• MAC Address (read-only) – The MAC Address cannot be changed.
• IP Address / CIDR Mask (8 to 30) – Use this box to enter the IP Address and CIDR ( C lassless
I nter- D omain R outing) Subnet Mask.
1) The IP Addresses for the ETHERNET | TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE and
ETHERNET | TRAFFIC | GE ports must be different and on separate subnets.
2) The ETHERNET | TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE and ETHERNET | TRAFFIC |
GE ports are isolated; the CDD-880 can pass traffic from one subnet to the
other if this is how the route table is configured.
3) The ETHERNET | TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE port serves as the dedicated
Ethernet-based monitor and control interface between the CDD-880 and the
User PC.
