Port parameters

Name
Specify a name to identify the port. By default, ports are named as follows: Management,
Client, Network, Monitor-1 and Monitor-2.
Alias
This is an 'alias' name for the port as specified by a network manager.
Port MTU
Specify the maximum transmission unit. By default, this is set to 1522. Example range: 1518
to 10240.
Large packet threshold
Specify the threshold such that all packets above this value will be classified as Large Packets
on the Port > Statistics page.
MAC address
Identifies the MAC address of the port.
Connector
Identifies the physical connector associated with the port.
Protection
(Network port only)
The port protection is a mechanism used to switch the traffic to a standby connector if a link
down is detected on the main connector. The main and the standby connectors are
determined by the Media-selection field in the Port / Configuration page. For example, if the
we choose RJ45-A with SFP-B, the main connector is SFP-B and standby connector is
SFP-A. If we refer to the default ports names, the protected port is always the Network port
and the protect port is always the Monitor-1 port. It should be mentionned that when a
switchover or a failover operation is performed, the two ports are swapped.
In order to use the port protection feature, the following conditions must be met:
•
Platform is a MetroNID
•
Media-selection is SFP-A with RJ45-B or RJ45-A with SFP-B
•
Main and standby connectors must have the same media type (Copper/Fiber) and must
be 1000X in fiber mode. if this condition is not met, the port is disabled.
Enable
Enable the protection for this port. The protecting port is reserved by the protection
mechanism and can not be used for monitoring purposes as long as the protection is enabled.
Working connector
Selects the working connector for the specified port. The connector choice allows the user to
perform a switchover operation.
Revertive
If enabled, the traffic is swtiched back to the main connector after the Revert period has
expired.
