Logical Interfaces
|
|
Add Logical Interfaces
|
Defines one or more logical units that you connect to this physical
Gigabit Ethernet interface. You must define at least one logical unit
for a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
|
Click Add.
|
|
Logical Interface Description
|
(Optional) Describes the logical interface.
|
Type a text description of the logical interface to more clearly
identify it in monitoring displays.
|
|
IPv4 Addresses and Prefixes
|
Specifies one or more IPv4 addresses for the interface.
|
- Type one or more IPv4 addresses and prefixes. For example:
10.10.10.10/24
- Click Add.
- Click OK.
To delete an IP address and prefix, select them in the Source
Addresses and Prefixes dialog box, then click Delete.
|
|
ARP Address
|
Enables the device to create a static Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) entry for this interface by specifying the IP address of a node
to associate with its media access control (MAC) address. The IP address
must be in the same subnet as the IPv4 address or prefix of the interface
you are configuring.
Static ARP entries associate the IP addresses and MAC addresses
of nodes on the same subnet, enabling a device to respond to ARP requests
having destination addresses that are not local to the incoming interface.
|
Type an IPv4 address that you want to associate with the MAC
address—for example:
10.10.10.1
|
|
MAC Address
|
Specifies the hardware media access control (MAC) address associated
with the ARP address.
The MAC address uniquely identifies the system and is expressed
in the following format: mm:mm:mm:ss:ss:ss. The first three octets denote the hardware
manufacturer ID, and the last three are serial numbers identifying
the device .
|
Type the MAC address to be mapped to the ARP entry—for
example:
00:12:1E:A9:8A:80
|
|
Publish
|
Enables the device to reply to ARP requests for the specified
address.
|
- To enable publishing, select the check box.
- To disable publishing, clear the check box.
|
|
Physical Interface Description
|
(Optional) Adds supplementary information about the physical
Gigabit Ethernet interface.
|
Type a text description of the Gigabit Ethernet interface to
more clearly identify it in monitoring displays.
|
|
MTU (bytes)
|
Specifies, in bytes, the maximum transmission unit size for
the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
|
Type a value between 256 and 9014. The default
MTU for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is 1514.
|
|
Per Unit Scheduler
|
Enables scheduling on logical interfaces.
Allows you to configure multiple output queues on a logical
interface and associate an output scheduler and shaping rate with
the queues.
|
- To enable scheduling, select the check box.
- To disable scheduling, clear the check box.
|
|
Gigabit Ethernet Options
|
|
Loopback
|
Enables or disables the loopback option.
|
Select Yes to enable the loopback diagnostic option,
or select No to disable the loopback option. By default,
loopback is disabled.
|
|
Auto Negotiation
|
Enables or disables autonegotiation.
By default, Gigabit Ethernet interfaces automatically negotiate
the link mode and speed settings. If you disable autonegotiation and
do not manually configure link mode and speed, the link is negotiated
at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
When you configure both the link mode and the speed, the link
negotiates with the manually configured settings whether autonegotiation
is enabled or disabled.
|
Select Yes to enable autonegotiation, or select No to disable it. By default, autonegotiation is enabled.
|
|
Auto Negotiation Remote Fault
|
Indicates the autonegotiation remote fault value.
|
Select the autonegotiation remote fault value from the list
of options given. This field is enabled only if autonegotiation is
enabled.
|
|
Source MAC Address Filters
|
Displays the list of media access control (MAC) addresses from
which you want to receive packets on this interface.
|
To add MAC addresses, type them in the boxes above the Add button,
then click Add.
|
|
Redundant Parent
|
Specifies the parent redundant Ethernet interface (reth) of the physical child Ethernet interface.
|
Specify a redundant Ethernet interface name.
|
