Table 222 Management port attributes
Attribute Meaning
Management Port
Wireless Down Alert
Only displayed when the Management Mode attribute is set to
‘Out-of-Band Local’.
If a condition is detected where the link can no longer forward
management traffic in one or both directions, for example, a
wireless fade or equipment failure, then if this attribute is
enabled the management port will be briefly disconnected
from the network. This signals to the connected network
equipment that this link is no longer available for
management traffic. Enabling this feature can be beneficial in
complex networks where alternative routes provide continued
service in the event of link failure (see Wireless link down
alert on page 1-45).
Management Port Auto
Negotiation
‘Enabled’ means that configuration of the out-of-band
management Ethernet interface is automatically negotiated.
This is the default setting.
‘Disabled’ means that configuration is forced.
Use the same setting for both ends of the link.
Ensure that this attribute has the same setting in the CMU
and in connected network equipment. If they are not
consistent, then a duplex mismatch will occur, resulting in
greatly reduced data capacity.
