 Out of Band Connectivity Mode: Data Port 1 or Data Port 2 is used for tagged bearer traffic (see
“Administrative State” on page 88 for details on selecting the active port when both port are
applicable). Data Port 3 is used for tagged external management traffic and for untagged local
management traffic.
 In Band Connectivity Mode: Data Port 1 or Data Port 2 is used for both bearer and external
management traffic. VLANs are used to separate the two traffic types. Data Port 3 is used for
untagged local management traffic.
 Unified Connectivity Mode: Data Port 1 or Data Port 2 is used for both bearer and external
management traffic. Both traffic types share the same VLAN. Data Port 3 is used for untagged local
management traffic.
The L1 & L2 option enables selecting any of the applicable ports for viewing or updating the following
parameters:
 Operational State
 Administrative State
 Port Negotiation Mode
 Port Speed
 Duplex Mode
4.5.2.3.1 Operational State
The Operational State parameter is applicable only for Show menu, indicating the current operational
status of the port (Up or Down).
4.5.2.3.2 Administrative State
The administrative status of the port (Up or Down).
Either Data Port 1 (if available) or Data Port 2 can be used for bearer connectivity (and for external
management connectivity in In Band or Unified connectivity mode). If both ports are connected only one
may be active. By default the Administrative State of Data Port 2 is Up and the Administrative State of
Data Port 1 is Down, meaning that Data Port 2 is active and Data Port 1 is not active.
For activating Data Port 1 it is required to configure the Administrative State of Data Port 2 to Down and
only then configure the Administrative State of Data Port 1 to Up, and vice versa.
The Administrative State of Data Port 3 is always Up and cannot be changed (to maintain the ability for
local management).
CAUTION
If you are managing the unit from remote through either Data Port 1 or Data Port 2 port (using either In
Band or Unified connectivity mode), do not change the Administrative State of the active port since it
will cause loss of management connectivity to the unit.
