Port Enable
You can enable or disable use of the 12 ports on the Security Module. When a port is enabled, it can transmit and receive data onto the network to which the module is assigned. 3Com recommends that you disable all unused ports on the Security Module to prevent network tampering.
Enter the following management command to enable all the ports on the module in slot 3.
ONline> set port 3.all mode enable [ENTER]
Network Assignment
The Security Module is equipped with the technology to work with the ONline System Concentrator's unique TriChannel™ architecture. This feature allows you to assign the module to any of three networks or isolated on the ONline System Concentrator backplane. Refer to the ONline System Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide, Chapter 1, for a discussion of the ONline TriChannel architecture.
Enter the following management command to assign the Security Module in slot 3 to Ethernet network 1.
ONline> set module 3 network ethernet_1 [ENTER]
Port Redundancy
ONline network management allows you to set redundancy between ports. Enter the following management command to set redundancy between ports on the Ethernet module in slot 5.
ONline> set port 5.1 mode redundant 5.2 [ENTER]
Use the MODE NON_REDUNDANT option to turn off redundancy between ports. Recommended redundancy configurations are shown in Chapter 2, Designing and Expanding the network.
