Ethernet ports for use. Set up the management interfaces using the physical
and network interface configuration elements. Refer to the System Configuration
chapter of the Acme Packet Configuration Guide for details.
Once the network management interface is
configured, it should be reserved
for the following uses:
• Ma
intenance activities
• A
pplication log retrieval
• So
ftware upgrades
• Syst
em configuration
• Telnet, SSH, SNMP, FTP,
and SFTP connections
• RADIUS CDR
transmission
Acme Packet recommends that you use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet
cabl
es with RJ45 plugs for connecting to the rear-panel Acme Packet 6100
Ethernet interfaces. These Ethernet interfaces have a distance limitation of 328
feet (100 m), as defined by the FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
Signaling and
Media Interfaces
The signaling and media interfaces provide network connectivity for signaling
and media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network over optical
modules at 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds.
The NIU is available in a 2-port 10GbE configuration. The NIU can be
po
pulated with different 10Gb SFP+ optical modules.
The optical 10GbE ports can acce
pt an LC fiber connector using either single
mode or multimode cable.
Mixed transceiver types are unsupported o
n SFP-based NIUs; both ports are
required to be populated with identical SFPs, based on compliance testing.
