Ethernet LAN Port Configuration

The following table lists the fields in the Ethernet LAN Port Configuration - General tab and their descriptions:

Table 32: Ethernet LAN Port Configuration - General Tab

Field

Description

 

 

Port Name

The user can define a logical name to the port for ease of use.

 

 

Port Type

The port type; optionally includes reference to the module to which it is

 

attached and port connector type.

 

 

Port Functionality

The physical media type of the selected port. If the port conforms to a

 

certain standard (Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard

 

is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard, Private is

 

displayed.

 

 

Administrative

The administrative state of the selected port:

Status

Enable - The port is enabled and can transmit and receive

 

packets.

 

Disable - The port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive

 

packets.

 

 

Tagging Mode

The port’s operational mode regarding VLANs. The possible modes

 

are:

 

Clear - Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it

 

belongs to the port’s VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.

 

IEEE-802.1Q- VLAN tagging, per IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

 

standard. The port will transmit frames with a VLAN ID of

 

1 - 3071 for Avaya G250/G350 Devices and 1 - 4090 for Avaya

 

G450 Devices.

 

 

VLAN ID

The VLAN number of the port.

 

 

Port Priority Level

The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module. For

 

effective transmission, multimedia packets must be received at regular

 

intervals. To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets coming

 

out of a port.

 

Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all incoming

 

packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority will pass

 

through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low priority

 

packets to eventually enter the bus.

 

Possible values are: User Priority 0, User Priority 7.
