Checking Ethernet Ports

Prerequisites

Available ports must meet the following requirements:

• All Ethernet ports configured with the IP failover function have connected to the network through network cables, and must be planned in the same network.
• The Health Status of the Ethernet ports must be Normal, and the Running Status must be Connected.
• IP addresses are not configured for the Ethernet ports.

Precautions

• Ethernet ports on different modules cannot be bonded.
• Ethernet ports for which a VLAN has been created or that belong to a bond port cannot be bonded.
• Ethernet ports that have been used to create bond ports cannot be used to create a VLAN.

Procedure

1. Log in to DeviceManager.
2. Choose Provisioning > Port > Ethernet Ports.
3. View details about an Ethernet port. The parameters are described in Table 3-1.
