PMC
—The EdgeRoute directs the internal Ethernet port to the front-panel RJ-45 connector residing on
the Fast-Ethernet PMC module.
Note
In this configuration, connection to the mid-plane connector is dis-
abled. The internal Ethernet port cannot reach the Ethernet inter-
faces on the mid-plane or the rear card.
If no Fast-Ethernet PMC module is installed, then you must select Backplane.
Do the following to configure the 6081RC Ethernet interfaces:
1. Click on the Ethernet link in the Configuration Menu pane (see
figure 17
on page 37) to display the Phys-
ical Ethernet Ports page (see
figure 19
) which is divided into Status and Configuration sections:
-
The Status section gives a quick overview of the current condition of the Ethernet ports, including IP
addresses, link state, speed, etc.
-
The Configuration section allows configuration of the Ethernet port to front panel or backplane connec-
tions (a standard 6081RC is configured with Ethernet A on the front panel, and Ethernet B and C con-
nected to the ForeFront chassis backplane). The Mode (Speed/Duplex) column enables port configuration
for 10/100Base-T and half/full duplex operation.

2. Select the desired connection (Backplane or PMC) from the Connection menu for interface Ethernet B or
Ethernet C (Ethernet A, because it is always connected to the front panel, cannot be changed).
Note
The PMC feature is not currently implemented.
3. Select the desired 10/100Base-T speed and half/full duplex configuration from the Mode
(Speed/Duplex) menu.
4. Click the
Submit
button to save changes.
