To configure Wavence Ethernet ports

Steps
 

In the navigation tree Equipment view, right-click on a Wavence Ethernet port and choose Properties. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.


Configure the parameters as required.

Note: The User Label parameter configuration must be limited to a maximum of 15 characters.


Click on the States tab and configure the Administrative State parameter.


Click on the Ethernet tab and configure the parameters as required.

Note: Before configuring the Advertised Capability parameter, click Turn Up on the Physical Port (Edit) form to display the value of the Egress Rate parameter under the Ethernet tab of the Physical Port (Edit) form.

Check the combinations that are supported for the Advertised Capability parameter in the Wavence documentation.


Select the Hold Off check box to enable the hold-off timer.

Note: Hold-off timer can be enabled or disabled only on Ethernet ports that are part of the ERP ring component.


Perform the following step if you need to enable one or more protection schemes on the Ethernet port; otherwise, go to Step 7. See QoS protection schemes for Ethernet ports in this section for more information.

  1. To enable traffic storm control on the port, configure the parameters in the Storm control panel.

  2. To enable port rate limiting on the ports, configure the parameters in the Port Rate Limiter panel.

  3. To enable dotq VLAN rate limiting on the port:

    Note: When you configure VLAN rate limits, ensure that the combined VLAN rate limits do not exceed the configured port rate limit or the port speed. The PortRateCIROverload alarm is raised when the VLAN rate limits exceed the available port rate.

    You can enable up to eight VLAN rate limits on an Ethernet port.

    1. Click on the VLAN Rate Limiter tab, choose an Ethernet port, and click Properties. The VLAN Rate Limiter (Edit) form opens.

    2. Configure the parameters as required.

    3. Save your changes and close the form.


Save your changes and close the form.
