General field descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the General tab.
Name Description
Index Specifies the slot and port number of the management port.
AdminStatus Configures the administrative status of the device as up (ready to pass
packets) or down. The testing state indicates that no operational packets
can be passed.
OperStatus Specifies the operational status of the device.
Mtu Shows the configuration for the maximum transmission unit. The size of the
largest packet which can be sent/received on the interface, specified in
octets. For interfaces that are used for transmitting network datagrams, this
is the size of the largest network datagram that can be sent on the
interface.
LinkTrap Enables or disables traps for the link status.
PhysAddress Shows the MAC address.
AutoNegotiate Enables or disables autonegotiate.
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
