If the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet-2 card is installed, the 100Mbps Ethernet port is displayed as port 4.

IP-Interface profile

TAOS creates a default IP-Interface profile for each Ethernet port it detects, including the shelf controller. You can create multiple IP interfaces for each physical Ethernet port, but the default IP-Interface profile must have an IP address, or the other IP-Interface profiles for the same port will not function. For information about configuring IP-Interface profiles, see the

APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT WAN, Routing, and Tunneling Configuration Guide.

Configuring duplex mode on the 100Mbps Ethernet port

The Duplex-Mode parameter in the Ethernet profile allows you to set the physical Ethernet interface of the 100BaseT port on the Ethernet-2 or Ethernet-3 card to full-duplex or half-duplex mode. Full-duplex mode (the default) provides increased throughput, but half-duplex mode enables the unit to operate with older equipment that does not support full duplex.

The following example sets the port to half-duplex mode:

admin> read ethernet { 1 7 4 } ETHERNET/{ shelf-1slot-7 4 } read

admin> list

[in ETHERNET/{ shelf-1 slot-7 4 }] interface-address* = { shelf-1 slot-7 4 } link-state-enabled = no

enabled = yes ether-if-type = utp bridging-enabled = no filter-name = "" duplex-mode = full-duplex

admin> set duplex-mode = half

admin> write

ETHERNET/{ shelf-1 slot-7 4 } written
