Introduction to Ethernet slot cards

This chapter explains how to install and configure the Ethernet slot cards. For information about configuring IP routing, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT DSLTNT WAN, Routing and Tunneling Configuration Guide.

The following Ethernet slot cards are available for the platforms indicated:

10/100Mbps Ethernet-2 card with three 10Mbps ports and one 100Mbps port—APX 8000, MAX TNT and DSLTNT units

10/100Mbps Ethernet-3 card with a single 100Mbps port—APX 8000 and MAX TNT units

Full-duplex 10/100Mbps Ethernet-2 slot card

The Ethernet-2 card has three 10BaseT ports and one full-duplex 100BaseT port. If you are replacing an older Ethernet card with the new Ethernet-2 card, you must create new Ethernet profiles for the Ethernet-2 card. For details, see “Upgrading to the Ethernet-2 and Ethernet-3 slot cards” on page 4-2.

Full-duplex 10/100Mbps Ethernet-3 slot card

The Ethernet-3 slot card has one full-duplex 10/100Mbps port that is designed to have a high packet-per-second throughput to support Voice over IP (VoIP). The Ethernet-3 card autosenses 10Mbps or 100Mbps but does not support autonegotiation, in which Ethernet devices negotiate a common speed and duplex mode.
