Configuring Ethernet interfaces
About Ethernet interface
The Switch Series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, Console
interfaces, and USB interfaces. For the interface types and the number of interfaces supported by a
switch model, see the installation guide.
This chapter describes how to configure management Ethernet interfaces and Ethernet interfaces.
Configuring a management Ethernet interface
About a management interface
A management interface uses an RJ-45/LC connector. You can connect the interface to a PC for
software loading and system debugging, or connect it to a remote NMS for remote system
management.
Each member device in an IRF system has a management Ethernet interface. For management link
backup, perform the following tasks:
1.
Connect your PC to the management Ethernet interface on the master device.
2.
Connect the PC to a management Ethernet interface with the same interface number on a
subordinate device.
The two management Ethernet interfaces operate as follows:
•
When the IRF system has multiple management Ethernet interfaces, only the management
Ethernet interface on the master device processes management traffic.
•
When the management Ethernet interface on the master device fails, the management
Ethernet interface on the subordinate device takes over to process management traffic.
•
When the management Ethernet interface on the master device recovers, it takes over to
process management traffic again.
