Overview

General information

Port objects are children of card slot objects. Port objects appear below the card slot after the card is configured. Properties forms for port objects are accessed using the NFM-P navigation tree.

QoS protection schemes for Ethernet ports

You can configure the following QoS protection schemes on Wavence Ethernet ports:

Traffic storm control, port rate limiting, and dot1q VLAN rate limiting are supported on the Core-E and 4+4 × Ethernet (EAS) cards on Wavence nodes. Port rate limiting is supported on MSS-4/8 cards on Wavence nodes Release 23 or later. Up to 1G values are supported on Wavence nodes Release 23 or earlier; 1G, 2.5G, and 10G is supported on nodes Release 23A or later.

See To configure Wavence Ethernet ports for information about enabling traffic storm control, port rate limiting, and dot1q VLAN rate limiting on the Wavence.

Monitoring Wavence ports using 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopbacks

You can monitor Wavence Ethernet or SFP ports using the 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback diagnostic test on Core-E, CorEvo, EASv1, and EASv2 cards, and on an MSS-1 or MSS-O shelf. See To configure 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopbacks on Wavence ports.

Note: The link monitoring and fault signaling operational aspects of the 802.3ah EFM OAM diagnostic test are not supported on the Wavence.

When enabled, the remote loopback allows a local DTE to locate a remote DTE and put it into a state whereby all inbound traffic is immediately reflected back onto the link. The 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback information is carried by the OAMPDUs. OAMPDUs contain the control and status information to monitor, test, and troubleshoot OAM-enabled links.

2.5 Gb/s SFP port on CorEvo cards

NFM-P supports the configuration of the 2.5 Gb/s speed on the SFP ports of the CorEvo cards. See To configure 2.5 Gb/s speed on the SFP port of CorEvo card for more information about how to configure 2.5 Gb/s speed on the SFP ports of the CorEvo cards.
