Ethernet interfaces
The Ethernet interfaces can be used as WAN or LAN interfaces. There is no IP configuration set on the
individual Ethernet interfaces. Instead, the IP configuration is done on the WAN and LAN interfaces.

Configure Ethernet interfaces
To configure an Ethernet interface, you must configure the following items:
Required configuration items
n
Enable the Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interfaces are all enabled by default.
Additional configuration options
The following additional configuration settings are not typically configured to get an Ethernet
interface working, but can be configured as needed:
n
A description of the Ethernet interface.
n
The duplex mode of the Ethernet interface. This defines how the Ethernet interface
communicates with the device to which it is connected. The duplex mode defaults to
auto
,
which means the TransPort LR device negotiates with the connected device on how to
communicate.
n
The speed of the Ethernet interface. This defines the speed at which the Ethernet interface
communicates with the device to which it is connected. The Ethernet speed defaults to
auto
,
which means it negotiates with the connected device as to what speed should be used.
From the command line
1. Enable the Ethernet interface. By default, all of the Ethernet interfaces are enabled.
eth 1 state on
2. Optional: Set the description for the Ethernet interface. For example:
eth 1 description “Connected to DSL WAN router”
