4.4 LAN
The MCH has 2 front panel RJ45 jacks (see Figure 3.4). LAN1 is 10/100/1000Mb
capable when it is routed to the GbE switches. However, it is 10/100 Mb capable
when routed to the management LAN controller. LAN2 is 10/100/1000Mb capable.
4.4.1 Preparation
To use the GbE capability of LAN1, a GbE capable counter-part such as GbE NIC or
GbE switch connection is required. For direct access to the management LAN con-
troller via LAN1, a crossover patch cable is needed. If the management LAN is routed
through the GbE switch fabric, both straight as well as crossover cables can be used
as the GbE switches support auto-crossover.
To access the MCH via Ethernet, appropriate LAN addresses must be configured.
If the operator does not know the shelf manager’s IP address, it can be found in the
serial (Mini-USB) debug output as illustrated in the following.
Figure 4.4 Illustration of Shelf Manager’s IP Address
As shown in Figure 4.4, the shelf manager’s IP address is 192.168.16.17. If neces-
sary the counter-part NIC can be configured with an available fixed IP address in the
same subnet, for example 192.168.16.30.
4.4.2 Usage
4.4.2.1 LAN1 routed directly to management LAN controller
Jumper CN13 (see Table 3.1) should be set to the open position. LAN1 is now routed
directly to the management LAN controller. In this configuration LAN1 is only 10/100
Mb capable. To connect LAN1 directly to a PC NIC, a crossover patch cable must be
used.
4.4.2.2 LAN1 routed to switch
Jumper CN13 should be set to the closed position. LAN1 is now routed to the GbE
switch (and is 10/100/1000 Mb capable). The management LAN controller is now
connected to the switch. In this configuration it doesn’t matter if a crossover or a nor-
mal patch cable is used as the GbE switches support auto-crossover.
4.4.2.3 LAN2
LAN2 is always connected to the switch. It is also 10/100/1000 Mb capable. A normal
as well as crossover patch Ethernet cables can be used on LAN2 because the GbE
switches support auto-crossover.
