For existing Ethernet port profiles these changes are not an issue, because they will not have the port direction field
explicitly set. However, new port profiles should be created with the port direction set to match the provisioning scenario
in which they will be used, as follows:
The following iMAP GE ports should have new profiles set with the direction of Customer when connecting with with a 1G
WAN card
• GE8 on the 9x00 iMAP
• GE4 (5.0-5.3) on the iMAP 910x
• GE24BX on 9000 series iMAP
• GE24SFP on SBx3112
Caution: Modifying an existing ethernet port profile is possible but carries risks, since you will now set the port direction. Setting it to
‘Customer’ for an existing Ethernet port may stop service. Setting it to ‘Network’ on an FE/FX port with an iMG/RG (where
the administrator could set the port direction to ‘Customer’ at the CLI) will cause the DHCP to no longer function.
Refer to the following figures.
