The following table lists the fields in the Ethernet LAN Port Configuration - General tab and their
descriptions:
Table 32: Ethernet LAN Port Configuration - General Tab
Field Description
Port Name The user can define a logical name to the port for ease of use.
Port Type The port type; optionally includes reference to the module to which it is
attached and port connector type.
Port Functionality The physical media type of the selected port. If the port conforms to a
certain standard (Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard
is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard, Private is
displayed.
Administrative
Status The administrative state of the selected port:
● Enable - The port is enabled and can transmit and receive
packets.
● Disable - The port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive
packets.
Tagging Mode The port’s operational mode regarding VLANs. The possible modes
are:
● Clear - Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it
belongs to the port’s VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.
● IEEE-802.1Q - VLAN tagging, per IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
standard. The port will transmit frames with a VLAN ID of
1 - 3071 for Avaya G250/G350 Devices and 1 - 4090 for Avaya
G450 Devices.
VLAN ID The VLAN number of the port.
Port Priority Level The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module. For
effective transmission, multimedia packets must be received at regular
intervals. To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets coming
out of a port.
Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all incoming
packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority will pass
through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low priority
packets to eventually enter the bus.
Possible values are: User Priority 0, User Priority 7.
