CANOGA PERKINS 9160 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Device - Manual (Page 31)

When setting up ports in the various switch configuration options, set up options in this order:
1. Set up the physical layer, such as port speeds.
2. Set up STP parameters for the physical ports.
3. Make sure all links are down, then set up the Link Aggregation (LAG(s)).
4. Set up the VLANS; be sure to treat a LAG as a single port.
5. Set up the Multiple Spanning tree (MST) parameters.
6. When all aspects of the link are ready, connect cables and start the network services.
Check and Update Port Information
The Port Information screen shows the current conditions for all ports in the 9160 with options to
view parameters and statistics for specific ports. Configuration information includes the model
number, description, and revision, the serial number, and link, remote fault, and physical status. To
access the Port Information screen, follow these steps:
1. From the Main menu, type 3, "Port Information," and press .
2. To view general information about a group of ports, type 1, "View Module," and press
to cycle through the groups of ports, then press .a number to view an option, then type the
port number, and press . The Information or Statistics screen appears for that port.
3. To view current status and set values for parameters for a selected port, type 2, "Port
Config/Status," then type the port name and press . You can set values for these
parameters:
• Flow Control: enable or disable
• Link Trap: enable or disable
• Physical Mode: AutoNeg or any combination of 10 or 100 MHz and half or full duplex
• LACP Mode: enable or disable
• Network Led: on or off
• Remote Fault: enable or disable (if enabled, enable RMTF on the remote port, also)
4. To view current statistics for traffic through a elected port, type 3, "Port Statistics," then type the
port name and press .
5. To return to the Main Menu, type 3.
Set Up Spanning Tree Parameters
Use the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu to set various STP parameters for the 9160 within the
network. To access the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu, follow these steps:
1. From the Switch Configuration menu, type 1, "Global Spanning Tree Parameters," and press
.
