Name Description
Note:
The 10 GigabitEthernet fiber-based I/O module ports can operate at
either 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) or 10 Gbps, dependent upon the
capabilities optical transceiver that you install.
This presents an ambiguity with respect to the autonegotiation
settings of the port, while 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports require
autonegotiation; autonegotiation is not defined and is non-existent for
10 GbE ports.
For a 10GbE fiber-based I/O module, you have the capability to swap
back-and-forth between 1 GbE and 10 GbE operation by simply
swapping transceivers. To help with this transition between 1 GbE
and 10 GbE port operation, Avaya allows you to configure
autonegotiation when you install a 10 GbE transceiver, even though
autonegotiation is not defined for 10GbE.
You can do this in anticipation of a port changeover from 10 GbE to 1
GbE. In this manner, you could essentially preconfigure a port in 1
GbE mode while the 10 GbE transceiver is still installed. The port is
ready to go upon the changeover to the 1 GbE transceiver.
In addition, you can use a saved configuration file with autonegotiation
enabled to boot a system with either 10 GbE or 1 GbE transceivers
installed. If you install a 1 GbE transceiver, the system applies
autonegotiation. If you install a 10 GbE transceiver, the system does
not remove the autonegotiation settings from the configuration, but the
system simply ignores the configuration because autonegotiation
settings are irrelevant to a 10 GbE transceiver. The system preserves
the saved configuration for autonegotiation when resaved no matter
which speed of transceiver you install.
AdminDuplex
Specifies the administrative duplex mode for the management port. The
default is full.
OperDuplex Specifies the operational duplex configuration for this port.
AdminSpeed Specifies the administrative speed for this port. The default is 100 Mb/s.
OperSpeed Shows the current operating data rate of the port.
Configuring the management port IPv6 interface parameters
About this task
Configure IPv6 management port parameters to use IPv6 routing on the port.
This procedure only applies to hardware with a dedicated, physical management interface.
Procedure
1. In the Device Physical View tab, select the management port.
