Configuring
Gigabit

Ethernet

Interfaces

on

the

ACE

Appliance
Note
This
feature

is
for
ACE

appliances

only.
You
can

configure

a

Gigabit

Ethernet

interface

on

the

ACE

appliance,

which

provides

physical

Ethernet
ports
to

connect

servers,

PCs,

routers,

and

other

devices

to

the

ACE

appliance.

The

ACE

appliance
supports
four

Layer

2

Et

hernet

por

ts

for

performing

Layer

2

switching.

You

can

configure

the

four
Ethernet
por

ts

to

pr

ovide

an

interface

for


connecting

t

o

10-Mbps,

100-Mbps,

or

100

0-Mbps

networks.
Each
Layer

2

Ethernet

port

supports

autonegotiate,

full-duplex,

or

half-duplex

operation

on

an

Ethernet
LAN,
and

can

carry

traffic

within

a

designated

VLAN.
A
Layer

2

Ethernet

port

can

be

configured

as

follows:

•
Member
of
Port-Channel
Group
—The
port

is

configured

as
a
member

of

a

port-channel
group,
which
associates

a

physical

port

on

the

ACE

appliance

to

a

logical

port

to

create

a

port-channel
logical
interface.

The

VLAN

association

is

derived

from

por

t-channel

configuration.

The

por

t

is
configured
as

a

Layer

2

EtherChannel,

where

each

EtherChannel

bundles

the

individual

physical
Ethernet
data

por

ts

into

a

single

logical

link

that

provides

the

aggregate

bandwidth

of

up

t

o

four
physical
l

inks

on

t

he

ACE.

•
Access
VLAN
—The
port
is

assigned

to

a

single

VLAN.

This

port

is

referred

to

as

an
access
port
and
provides

a

connection

for

end

users

or

node

devices,

such

as

a

router

or

server.

•
Trunk
port
—The
port

is
associated

with

IEEE

802.1Q

encapsulation-based

VLAN

trunking

to
allocate
VLANs

to

ports

and

to

pass

VLAN

information

(including

VLAN

identification)

between
switches
for

all

Ethernet

channels

defined

in

a

Layer

2

Ethernet

data

port

or

a

Layer

2

EtherChannel
(port-channel)
group

on

the

ACE

appliance.
