Setting Basic Attributes of Ethernet Interfaces

Before you configure the Layer 2 and Layer 3 attributes of an Ethernet interface, configure the basic attributes of the corresponding Ethernet interface. The basic attributes of an Ethernet interface define the physical-layer information, such as the port mode, encapsulation type, and maximum frame length.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Configuration > Packet Configuration > Interface Management > Ethernet Interface from the Function Tree.
  2. Click the Basic Attributes tab.
  3. Select the desired board and set the parameters as required.

    NOTE:
    • When Port Mode is set to Layer 2, the Encapsulation Type supports Null, 802.1Q and QinQ.
    • When Port Mode is set to Layer 3, the Encapsulation Type support 802.1Q, and then the interface can be used by tunnel.
    • When Port Mode is set to Layer Mix, the port can carry Layer 2 services and Layer 3 services. To create a VLAN sub-interface, set the port mode to Layer Mix.
    • In the case an NNI interface, Max Frame Length (byte) must be larger than 960. A DCN packet contains a maximum of 960 bytes. If Max Frame Length (byte) is smaller than 960, the DCN packets in the receive direction may be lost.

  4. Click Apply. The Operation Result dialog box is displayed indicating that the operation is successful.
  5. Click Close.
