S-2500B Gateway

9.

Connect the gateway to the LAN by plugging an Ethernet cable into the LAN Ethernet 
port (labeled “

1

”) on the back panel of the 

S-2500B

.

10.

To reboot the 

S-2500B

 with a “cold” restart, use the command: 

config system restart 

cold

.

11.

From a computer on the LAN issue a network ping for the new IP address. A response will 
confirm that the new 

S-2500B

 is communicating over the LAN.

Configuring the Ports

The OC-48 card has the following ports:

WAN 1 : a Wide Area Network port which can be configured to SONET protocol.

EFC 1, 2 and 3 : can be configured to FC (Fibre Channel) or GbE (Gigabit Ethernet).

Use the following CLI example to configure ports on the card. In order to support a point to 
point connection with another node, a SONET port must be configured. You will be prompted 
for timing. If the gateway is to derive the clock from the SONET equipment (i.e. when 
connected to an ADM), accept the default 

line-timing

. If the gateway will be generating the 

clock, change this value to 

internal-timing

 (i.e. when connected back to back).

gateway:> 

config  port

 

wan  1

gateway/config/port/wan/1# 

type sonet

enter sync-mode <line-timing | internal-timing> [line-timing] : 

inter

gateway/config/port/wan/1#

CAUTION

: A cold restart will delete all previous configuration data.

NOTE: 

Configure only the ports that are needed at this time. Other ports can be 

configured at a later time without interrupting service, but returning a port to 
unconfigured status requires shutting the system down.

NOTE: 

Two systems in a point to point connection must have their ports configured 

identically. Refer to 

Establishing a Point to Point Connection

 below.
