To configure OmniSwitch Ethernet ports

Note: You can configure MVRP fixed ports, 802.1 Q ports, aggregate ports, and VLAN Stacking Network ports.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, navigate to the port object where you want to configure an OmniSwitch Ethernet port. The path is Network→NE→Shelf→Card Slot n→Port n/n/n.

2 

Right-click on a port object and choose Properties. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters.

An access port is used for customer-facing VLAN service traffic.

A network port or channel is used for network access in the service provider transport or infrastructure network. Typically, only one OmniSwitch network port is required for tree topology; ring topology requires two ports.

The Automatic VLAN Binding parameter is only supported on Stacked VLANs.

The Automatic VLAN Binding parameter is only supported on Stacked VLANs.

4 

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

5 

Click on the Policies tab.

Note: A port must have a service access point associated with it before you can apply a UNI policy to the port.

6 

Select a UNI policy.

7 

Click on the Ethernet tab and configure the required parameters.

The Inter-Frame Gap (bytes) parameter is only configurable on Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The Default VLAN Restore, Default VLAN Enable, Ignore BPDU, Authenticate, and Ingress Filtering parameters are only configurable when the Enable Port Mobility parameter is set to Enable.

8 

Click on the LLDP tab and configure the required parameters.

9 

Click on the Remote Peers sub-tab under the LLDP tab to search for and display LLDP remote peers that are associated with the port. The remote peers are used to determine the physical topology of the network.

10 

Click on the MVRP tab and configure the required parameters.

11 

Configure VLAN restrictions, if required.

  1. Click on the VLAN Restrictions tab.

  2. Click Create. The MVRP VLAN Registration form appears.

  3. Configure the required parameters.

  4. Save your changes and close the form.

12 

Click on the QoS tab, and configure the required parameters.

The Servicing Mode parameter does not apply to OS 6900 and OS 10K devices.

13 

If you are configuring a port on an OS 6900 or OS 10K device, click on the Queue tab and configure the required parameters.

14 

Click on the DHCP/DHCPv6 Snooping tab, and configure the required parameters. The tab is only available when the port is associated with a VLAN that has DHCP/DHCPv6 snooping enabled or DHCP/DHCPv6 snooping is enabled at the switch level.

15 

Click on the Ethernet Hybrid tab, and configure the required parameters. The tab is only available for hybrid Ethernet ports.

16 

Click on the PoE tab, and configure the required parameters. The tab is only available for PoE ports.

17 

Click on the LPS Learned MAC Entries tab to view the MAC addresses learned on the port. LPS must be enabled on the port. See To configure bridging on an OmniSwitch for information about configuring LPS on an Ethernet port.

18 

Click Create to add static MAC address entries, if required. The MAC Entries (Create) form opens.

Note: A port must be LPS-enabled and belong to a VLAN before you can add static MAC addresses to the port.

19 

Select a VLAN Site.

20 

Configure the MAC Address parameter.

21 

Save your changes and close the form.

22 

Repeat Step 18 to Step 21 to add another MAC address, if required.

23 

Save your changes and close the forms.
