WiNG Controller v7.9.5.1 NOVA Getting Started Guide

Go to Profiles <select a target device profile> Interface > Ethernet.

The Ethernet window includes:

A list of available Ethernet ports.
Tools that allow users to manage Ethernet ports.

View Available Ethernet Ports

The Ethernet window displays a list of all available Ethernet ports in tabular form. The total number of available ports is shown in parentheses.

Interface Configuration - Ethernet Port Table Column Heading describes the type of information displayed under each column in the table.

Table 1. Interface Configuration - Ethernet Port Table Column Heading
Column Heading	Description
Name	Displays the physical port name reporting runtime data and statistics. Supported ports vary depending on controller, service platform, or access point model.
Admin Status	Indicates the current port administrative status, as follows: (default) — Port is currently activated and available for use. — Port is currently deactivated and unavailable for use.
Mode	Displays the profile's current switching mode, as follows: Access — When selected, the listed port accepts packets only from the native VLAN. Frames are forwarded out the port untagged with no 802.1Q header. All frames received on the port are expected as untagged and mapped to the native VLAN. Trunk — When selected, the listed port allows packets from a list of VLANs that are added to the trunk. A port configured as Trunk supports multiple 802.1Q tagged VLANs and one native VLAN, which can be tagged or untagged.
Native VLAN	Lists the numerical VLAN ID (1–4,094) set for the native VLAN. The native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no 802.1Q frame is included in the frame. Additionally, the native VLAN is the VLAN over which untagged traffic is directed when using a port in Trunk mode.
Native VLAN Tagged	Indicates whether the native VLAN is tagged, as follows: (default) — Native VLAN is tagged. — Native VLAN is untagged. When a frame is tagged, the 12 bit frame VLAN ID is added to the 802.1Q header so upstream Ethernet devices know which VLAN ID the frame belongs to. The device reads the 12 bit VLAN ID and forwards the frame to the appropriate VLAN. When a frame is received with no 802.1Q header, the upstream device classifies the frame using the default or native VLAN assigned to the Trunk port. A native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no 802.1Q frame is included in the frame.
Allowed VLANs	Displays the VLANs allowed to send packets over the listed port. Allowed VLANs are only listed when the Mode has been set to Trunk.
Description	Displays an administrator-defined description for each listed device port.
Action	See Management Tools.
