Port Attributes

In this interface, attributes of the port used by the Ethernet service are displayed.

Navigation Path

Creation and query of the E-Line, E-LAN or E-AGGR service requires information in this interface. The navigation paths for the three services are as follows:

Parameters

Table 1 Descriptions of the parameters for Port Attributes

Field

Value

Description

Port

Example: Slot-Board Name-Port (Port No.)

Display the name of the port on the NE. Slot number - Board name - Port information

Port Enable

Enable, Disable

Display the enable status of the port.

Port Mode

Layer 2, Layer 3

Select the working mode of the port.

  • Layer 2: The port can access the user-side equipment or carry Ethernet services that are based on the ports and use the port exclusively.

  • Layer 3: The port can carry tunnels.

Encapsulation Type

Null, 802.1Q, QinQ

Display the encapsulation type of the Ethernet port.

802.1Q indicates that a four-byte 802.1Q tag is inserted between the source MAC address section and the protocol type section.

QinQ indicates that the 802.1Q is embedded with the 802.1Q.

Working Mode

Auto-Negotiation, 10M Half-Duplex, 10M Full-Duplex, 100M Half-Duplex, 100M Full-Duplex, 1000M Half-Duplex, 1000M Full-Duplex, 10G Full-Duplex LAN, 10G Full-Duplex WAN

Indicates the working mode of the Ethernet port. The auto-negotiation mode is recommended, because it can automatically find out the best working mode to combine a port and its interconnected port and thus is convenient for maintenance.

Be careful to configure the same working mode for the port and its interconnected port. Otherwise, service will fail.

Tag

Tag Aware, Access, Hybrid

The tag indicates which packets can be processed.

Tag Aware: The port transparently transmits the data packet with a VLAN ID (tag). If a data packet does not have a VLAN ID (untag), the port discards this data packet. In this case, the Default VLAN ID and VLAN Priority are meaningless.

Access: The port adds the default VLAN ID to the data packet without any VLAN ID (untag). If the data packet has a VLAN ID (tag), the port discards this data packet.

Hybrid: The port adds the default VLAN ID to the data packet without any VLAN ID (untag). If the data packet has a VLAN ID (tag), the port transparently transmits the data packet.

Specify IP Address

Unspecified, Manually

Indicates the port IP address setting mode.

  • Unspecified: the IP address can be dynamically allocated.
  • Manually: the IP address of the port can be manually configured.
NOTE:

This parameter is available when Port Mode is Layer 3.

IP Address

For example: 192.168.0.1

Sets the IP address for the port.

NOTE:

When Specify IP Address is set to Manually, you can set this parameter.

CAUTION:
Modifying the IP address can cause the equipment to re-establish the link. As a result, the services are interrupted.
