Ethernet Interface Configuration Page
This page allows the administrator to set the muting, alarm, and duplex settings of both the Ethernet
connection and allows determination of the management information for in-band (carried over the air
and available from both Ethernet connectors on either end of the link) or out-of-band (not carried over
the air and only available from the local PoE connector).
Figure 23 Ethernet Interface Configuration page
To ignore Ethernet alarms, disable the alarming of the connector. Muting a connection is desirable
when connected equipment senses Ethernet signaling and makes decisions (such as, spanning tree
protocol enable) based on the Ethernet signal. The ETH1 port cannot be muted, as it is always used for
primary management and PoE.
It may be desirable to disable the alarming of any connector if it is not used.
The Management parameter allows determination of management information using the following
management modes:
• Inband: Management traffic is carried over the air and is available from all connectors on either
end of the link (Figure 24).
• Out-of-Band: Management traffic is not carried over the air and is only available from the port(s)
configured for Management.
Note: The port configured for Management and the traffic ports must be logically separated
by using VLANs or a separate switch (see Single IP Architecture
).
