CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
Before using iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III, decide the following:
 Will iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III units be located at only one or at both
ends of the fiber?
 How will the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III units be managed?
 Will VLAN IDs be defined?
HOW MANY iMcV-GIGA-FIBERLINX-III UNITS WILL BE
USED?
 Two for Host/Remote applications–allows IP-less management
providing greater security
 One for a single unit application
 One unit as a host and a Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II or IE-MultiWay as
a Remote
HOW WILL THE iMcV-GIGA-FIBERLINX-III BE MANAGED?
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III can be managed through any of its three ports (and
any combination thereof) or from the chassis. Using the EXT MGMT/OPTICS (or
UPLINK) port combination separates management traffic from the data and
provides the highest level of security. UMA management does not require an IP
address.
WILL VLAN IDS BE DEFINED?
When VLAN traffic is used with specific tags on the DATA port, it is necessary to
define VLAN IDs (refer to VLAN Operation Modes section). VLANs may be
tagged, untagged, or double-tagged.
