Overview of Ethernet configuration
The Ethernet slot cards provide multiport Ethernet routing capabilities. The configuration of each port on an Ethernet slot card is identical to the configuration of the Ethernet port on the shelf controller. (For complete information about configuring the Ethernet ports for routing, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT WAN, Routing, and Tunneling Configuration Guide.)
All TAOS units have an Ethernet port on the shelf controller. This Ethernet port is designed for
Understanding the Ethernet-related profiles
The APX 8000 creates the following profiles when it detects an Ethernet port:

•SNMP profiles
For an explanation of SNMP profiles, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT Administration Guide.
Ethernet profile
TAOS creates a default Ethernet profile for each Ethernet port it detects, including the shelf controller. The Ethernet profile specifies the
