Interface Status

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable

Default Setting: Disable

Determines whether the Ethernet port is being used and can be configured.

Enable ± The port is active. It can receive Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 MAC frames, or transmit Version 2 MAC frames only. When the Ethernet port is enabled, the Would you like to set the Node's IP Destination to Ethernet? prompt is displayed.

HIf you select Yes, the Default IP Destination (see Table 3-9,Node IP Options) is automatically changed to Ethernet, so the Ethernet port's Default Gateway Address is used for packets that do not have a route. This is required when the NMS is on a different subnet than the unit.

HIf you select No, the COM port or a PVC will be used for packets without a route.

Disable ± The port is not active. When the port is disabled, the following will occur:

HNo alarms or traps configured for the port will be generated.

HAll port uses that refer to the Ethernet port, like the Default IP Destination and Initial Route Destination, will be reset to their default values (see Table 3-9,Node IP Options, and Table 3-14,SNMP Traps Options).
