The Ribbon SBC 2000 allows you to configure the Identification/Status information, Physical Data Layer, and Networking Layer for the Ethernet ports. If you want to change the IP Address, you must configure the associated Logical Interface or use the Modify Ethernet IP task found under the Tasks tab.
Applying configuration to Ethernet ports can cause brief disruption to IP connectivity.
For the SBC 2000 only: The Ethernet Port must be enabled for continued access to the management interface. If you attempt to disable the Ethernet Port with the status of "Up", the following warning message is disabled:
You are disabling the Ethernet port(s) which are currently up. Please ensure that you are not disabling ports required for continued access to this management interface. Are you sure you want to disable all the selected ports?
To continue disabling the port, click OK. To cancel the delete, click Cancel.
To access the Ethernet Ports on the SBC Edge Portfolio:
- In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to Node Interfaces > Ports.
Configuring the Ethernet Ports on the SBC Edge Portfolio
Click the expand ( 
) icon next to the port you wish to configure.
Ethernet Port Redundancy Dropdown List
With No Ethernet Port Redundancy selected
Ethernet Port - Primary (Redundancy Selected)
The ASM 2 Ethernet port is for special applications, and cannot be used for VOIP-gateway or SBC functionalities.
Networking - Field Definitions
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ACL In | Determines the Access Control List (ACL) to be used on this port when filtering incoming packets. For more information about Access Control Lists, see Managing Access Control Lists. Note: After the port is configured for redundancy, this option can only be configured on the primary Ethernet port. |
| ACL Forward | Determines the Access Control List (ACL) to be used when filtering forwarded (i.e. routed) packets received on this port. For more information about Access Control Lists, see Managing Access Control Lists. Note: After the port is configured for redundancy, this option can only be configured on the primary Ethernet port. |
| Frame Type | Specifies the type of Ethernet frames that can be received on this port.
Note: The ASM 1 Ethernet port is limited to Untagged mode only. |
| Default Untagged VLAN | Specifies the default VLAN to which untagged frames will be assigned when they are received on this port. Visible only when Untagged or All is selected from the Frame Type list box. For more information about VLANs, see Creating and Modifying VLANs. Note: By default, each Ethernet port will be assigned to their own port specific system created VLAN (e.g. Ethernet 1 VLAN). When the port specific VLAN is selected, IP layer communication takes place with its default Logical Interface (e.g. Ethernet 1 IP). Note: This option cannot be configured if the port is configured for failover redundancy. |
| Tagged VLANs | Specifies the tagged VLAN(s) of which this Ethernet port is a member. Only user created VLANs can be selected. Visible only when Tagged or All is selected from the Frame Type list box. Since the ASM 1 Ethernet port is limited to Untagged mode only, the Tagged VLAN selection is not be present for this port. Note: This option cannot be configured if the port is configured for failover redundancy. |
Ethernet Port Redundancy - Field Definitions
| Field | Value/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Redundancy (Previously called MSTP State.) | None (0) Failover (2) | Describes redundancy state. |
| Redundant Port | None Ethernet 1 Ethernet 2 Ethernet 3 Ethernet 4 | List will reflect platform type and not offering the port currently being configured as redundant port. |
| Redundancy Role | Primary (0) Secondary (1) | Indicates if the port is the primary or secondary port. (The primary port is the port in which the associated logical interface has an IP address.) |
| Redundancy State | Online (0) Backup (1) | Read-only field that indicates which Ethernet port is active. |
Logical Interface Changes
When modifying the primary port for redundancy, the SBC will automatically change certain Logical Interface settings for the secondary. Refer to the note on Managing Logical Interfaces for details.
