Basic Attributes

In this interface, you can query and set the basic attributes of the Ethernet interface.

Navigation Path

For RTN NEs, in the NE Explorer, select the NE and choose Configuration > Interface Management > Ethernet Interface from the Function Tree. Then, click the Basic Attributes tab.

In the NE Explorer, select the board and choose Configuration > Interface Management > Ethernet Interface from the Function Tree. Then, click the Basic Attributes tab.

Shortcut Menu Description

Item	Description
Browse Performance	View the performance data of the specified ethernet interface.
Performance Statistics Management	Manage the performance events.
Query Relevant Tunnels	Views the selected Tunnel in the E2E Tunnels management window. If the Tunnel cannot be found, the U2000 Web LCT displays a message indicating that the Tunnel cannot be associated.

Parameters

**Table 1** Descriptions of the parameters for Ethernet interface Basic Attributes
Field	Value	Description
Port	Slot-Board Name-Port (Port No.)	Displays the port name.
Name	For example: Port1	Enters the self-defined port name.
Enable Port	Disabled, Enabled	When the port is enabled, it indicates that the user uses the port and the port has services. When the port is disabled, it indicates that the port does not process services. When configuring services, enable the involved ports. It is recommended that you disable an unused Ethernet port to suppress the reporting of the alarms related to the port. There must be no service at the Ethernet port to be disabled. CAUTION: Disabling an Ethernet port may interrupt services.
Status	UP, DOWN	Indicates the port status. UP: Indicates that there is no ETH_LOS alarm on the port. DOWN: Indicates that there is an ETH_LOS alarm on the port. NOTE: Only the status of enabled ports can be displayed.
Port Mode	Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer Mix	Specifies the working mode of the Ethernet 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	Selects the means of processing the accessed packets. Null: The port transparently transmits the accessed packets. 802.1Q: The port identifies the 802.1Q standard packets. QinQ: The port identifies the QinQ standard packets. The Encapsulation Type is always 802.1Q when you set Port Mode to Layer 3.
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, 10G Full-Duplex WAN(SDH mode), 10G Full-Duplex WAN(SONET mode), 100G Full-Duplex	Selects 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.
Max Frame Length	1518 to 9600	The maximum frame length is also the maximum transport unit (MTU).
ARP Aging Time (min)	1 to 1440	Indicates the ARP aging time of the port.
Running Status	Up, Down	Indicates the running status of the port. Green indicates the port has no alarm and can be used normally. The running status is Up. Red indicates the port has alarm and cannot be used normally. The running status is Down.
Optical Module Status	Not-in-Position, Online	Indicates the status of the optical module.
Laser Interface Status	Open, Close	When the physical port carries services, disabling the laser interrupts the services carried by the port.
Laser Transmission Distance (m)	For example: 1000	Indicates the transmission distance of laser.
Network Cable Mode	MDIX, Auto-Sensing, MDI	Selects the mode of network cable.
Auto-Negotiation Ability	-, 10M Half-Duplex, 10M Full-Duplex, 100M Half-Duplex, 100M Full-Duplex, 1000M Half-Duplex, 1000M Full-Duplex	Sets or indicates the auto-negotiation ability of the port.
Logical Port Attribute	-, No interface, Optical Port, Electrical Port	Sets the logical port attribute.
Physical Port Attribute	-, No interface, Single-mode optical port, Multi-mode optical port, Electrical port	Displays the physical port attribute.
Traffic Policing Status	Enabled, Disabled	Sets the traffic policing status of the port.
Traffic Policing Period (min)	1 to 30	Sets the traffic policing period.
Rate (bit/s)	Example: 1.0G	Queries the rate of port currently.
Input Power Upper Threshold (dBm)	For example: -20	Sets the upper threshold of Input Power (dBm).
Input Power Lower Threshold (dBm)	For example: -230	Sets the lower threshold of Input Power (dBm).
