The Sonus 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.
To access the Ethernet Ports on the
:Spacevars 0 product
- In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to Node Interfaces > Ports.

The ASM 2 Ethernet port is for special applications, and cannot be used for VOIP-gateway or SBC functionalities. |
Identification/Status - Interactive Field Definitions
| Field | Definition |
|---|---|
| Port Alias | Specifies an alternative name for the interface; typically configured by the SNMP-based Network Manager. This parameter is unique among all the interfaces known to the SNMP Network Manager. The value cannot have whitespace characters. |
| Description | Description for the port or interface. Maximum entry: 64 characters. |
| Admin State | Specifies the administrative state of the port. |
Physical/Data Layer - Interactive Field Definitions
Configures auto-negotiation or a specific speed for the Ethernet port. The default value should be changed only when necessary.
- Auto: When Auto is selected the port speed is automatically negotiated by the Ethernet port and reported in the Negotiated Speed field.
- 1000/100/10: The specified port speed 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps is reported in the Negotiated Speed field.
Configured Duplexity
Defines the interface timing mode for the Ethernet port. Valid entries:
Auto: The interface timing mode is negotiated during auto-negotiation (Preferred). Default entry
Master: The SBC drives the interface timing
Slave: The peer drives the interface timing
WARNING!
This field should strictly be left as Auto unless interoperability problems are seen with a specific switch. For example, HP 1920 is a potential example of a switch in which Sonus has seen interoperability problems. |
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 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. | State | Online Backup | Read-only field that indicates which Ethernet port is active. |
