Table 4-23. Ethernet Management Options (1 of 2)
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 and
transmit Version 2 MAC frames only. When the Ethernet port is enabled, the Would you
like to set the Node's IP Destination to Ethe rnet? prompt is displayed.
If you select Yes, the Default IP Destination (see Table4-17, 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.
If 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:
No alarms or traps configured for the port will be generated.
All port uses that refer to the Ethernet port, like t he Default IP Destination and Initial
Route Destination, will be reset to their default values (see Table4-17, Node IP
Options, and Table4-22, SNMP Traps and Trap Dial-Out Options).
