106 Ethernet Port Configuration
Procedure
To bind the Ethernet port to an already existing IP interface
Mode
Configure
Command Purpose
Step 1 node (cfg)#port ethernet slot port Enters Ethernet port configuration mode for the
interface on
slot and port
Step 2 node (prt-eth)[ slot / port ]#bind
interface name router
Binds the Ethernet port to the already existing IP
interface
if-name
Example: Binding An Ethernet Port to an IP Interface
The following example shows how to bind the Ethernet port on slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode
1000 or 2000 series device to an already existing IP interface lan .
SN(cfg)# port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]# bind interface lan router
14.7 Selecting The Frame Format for an Ethernet Port
The frame format defines the logical grouping of information sent as a data link layer unit over a
transmission medium. Depending on the components receiving data sent from a SmartNode via an
Ethernet connection the frame format has to be specified. The command
frame-format allows you to
set the sending either of IEEE 802.3 or IEEE 802.1Q frames. Supported command options are:
• dot1q Sends VLAN-tagged IEEE 802.1Q frames used for virtual LANs
•
standard Sends standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frames
By default the frame format is set to standard, representing IEEE 802.3.
Procedure
To change the frame format of the Ethernet port on slot and port
Mode
Configure
Command Purpose
Step 1 node (cfg)#port ethernet slot port Enters Ethernet port configuration mode for the
interface on
slot and port
Step 2 node (prt-eth)[ slot / port ]#frame-
format {standard | dot1q}
Selects to send standard IEEE 802.3 or VLAN-
tagged IEEE 802.1Q frames
Example: Binding An Ethernet Port to an IP Interface
The following example shows how to bind the Ethernet port on slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode
1000 or 2000 series device to send tagged IEEE 802.1Q frames.
SN(cfg)# port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]# frame-format dot1q
