Interface Configuration

IPv6 addresses often contain consecutive groups of zeros. To further simplify address entry, you can use two colons (::) to represent the consecutive groups of zeros when typing the IPv6 address. You can use two colons (::) only once in an IPv6 address.

Auto-negotiation - All Ports

Auto-negotiation and flow control are configured on a per port basis. Management, local, and remote port auto-negotiation settings are configured independently of each other. The default setting for the ETEP enables auto-negotiation, which negotiates the link speed, duplex setting, and flow control. If the device to which the ETEP connects from a particular port does not support auto-negotiation or flow control, disable one or both of these functions on that port.

It is essential that the ETEP port and the connecting device’s port are configured the same way. Both devices should either auto-negotiate or be set manually to the same speed and duplex mode. Having one device set manually and the other auto-negotiate can cause problems that make the link perform slowly. When manually setting the ETEP link speed, configure the speed and duplex mode to match that of the other device.

When changing the auto-negotiation setting from ETEMS, there is a slight delay before the new setting takes effect on the ETEP. The delay is typically a few seconds, but can be as long as 30 seconds. During this period, the old setting remains in effect.

On the management port, the ETEPs support the speeds shown in Table 85.
