CAUTION
The user must ensure that only compatible port types are residing
on the same D-PVLAN. Otherwise, traffic misrouting may occur!
Port Type selection is made at the beginning of the provisioning
process for a paddleboard port. This setting, along with the D-PVLAN
membership assignment, is critical for proper operation of the ETHER-
1000 system.
Note:
When the port type is changed, the respective VLANs tab
settings are forced to the respective defaults. Undo command will not
reinstate the previous settings in the VLANs tab.
D-PVLAN ID
Indicates the port‟s membership to a specific Distributed Port-based
VLAN (an integer between 1 and 60). The port will be able to
communicate only with the ports that are members of the same D-
PVLAN. When the Port Type is set to P-
Trunk, this field reads “Group”
to indicate that multiple D-PVLAN memberships for the port may be
assigned. These memberships are entered in the VLANs tab.
Note:
The selection of D-PVLAN membership also determines the
particular TDM pipe that will be used for this port‟s communication with
remote ports. See the D-PVLANs field in the Line Setup tab.
LAN Interface
– Leftmost field
Displays the type of physical interface used for this Ethernet port.
Currently, the possible readings are:
-
This port is disabled
Cu
This port is an RJ-45 port
mmf
This port is an optical port for multimode fiber (only).
smf
This port is an optical port for single-mode fiber (or mmf).
LAN Interface
– Mid field
For RJ-45 ports, indicates the current MDI/MDIX mode for the port.
The possible readings are:
MDI
MDI is forced
MDIX
MDIX is forced
Also see the
Xover-Allow
and
Xover-In Use
fields
in the Port Details
tab.
For optical ports, indicates the optical level of the received signal. LOS
