Configuration Tips
This section describes common issues and how to avoid them.
Ethernet Port Configuration
The Ethernet ports of a FibeAir IP-20C, IP-20C-HP, IP-20S, IP-20E, and IP-20V
are not enabled by default in a new unit. You must manually enable the
Ethernet port or ports in order for the unit to process Ethernet traffic. See
Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager)
For RJ-45 ports, it is recommended to enable Auto-Negotiation for both the
local port and its peer in order to obtain optimal performance.
For SFP ports, it is recommended to disable Auto-Negotiation.
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
SyncE Interface Configuration
When configuring a Sync source or outgoing clock on an Ethernet interface,
the Media Type of the interface must be RJ-45 or SFP, not Auto-Type. See
In-Band Management
In order to use in-band management with an external switch, it must be
supported on the external switch.
When configuring in-band management, be sure to tag the management
traffic to avoid overflow of the CPU.
For instructions on configuring in-band management on the IP-20, see
Configuring In-Band Management
Link Aggregation (LAG)
If you are configuring LAG with an external switch, the switch must support
LAG. For instructions on configuring LAG, see
Software Upgrade
When upgrading software via HTTP, make sure the software package is
not
unzipped. For instructions, see
Configuration Management and Backup Restoration
Configuration files can only be copied to the same IP-20 hardware type with
the same part number as the unit from which they were originally saved. For
example, an IP-20C configuration file can only be restored to an IP-20C with
the same part number as the unit from which it was saved.
