General (Interfaces) A-C-A
Gives the user the ability to view basic card interface information or to configure
Maximum Transfer Units (MTUs).
Interface Name – 15 characters. s1b = backplane that connects all the cards;
e1a = ethernet port; s1c, s1d, s1e and s1f = DSL interface. Depending on your selection
in this field, the following pre-populated fields appear:
Type – Static or dynamic.
Protocol – HDLC, PPP, or Ether. For the 8540, the protocol is Ether-HDLC.
Port List – Name of the port associated with this interface.
MTU (max) – 64–64000 (Default = 1500). For the 8540, the MTU (max) is 1500, with
the range being 61–1500.
NOTE: The above MTU values are the only values you may enter. Do not change
the MTU of s1b from the default of 1500. Make certain that if you change
from the default value, the new numbers are appropriate to your network.
Do a card reset or reset the Ethernet interface.
