interface

Selects an interface to configure

A profile‘s interface configuration can be defined to support separate physical Ethernet configurations both unique and specific to RFS4000 controllers and NX7500 and NX9500 series service platforms. Ports vary depending on the platform, but controller or service platform models do have some of the same physical interfaces.

A controller or service platform requires its virtual interface be configured for layer 3 (IP) access or layer 3 service on a VLAN. A virtual interface defines which IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the controller or service platform is connected to.

If the profile is configured to support an access point radio, an additional radio interface is available, unique to the access point‘s radio configuration.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8432, AP8533
Wireless Controller — RFS4010
Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

wwan1	Selects a Wireless WAN interface This interface is applicable only to AP7161, AP8163, RFS4000 model access points and controllers.
xge <1-4>	Selects a TenGigabitEthernet interface <1-2> – Specify the interface index from 1 - 4.

Usage Guidelines

The ports available on a device vary depending on the model. For example, the following ports are available on RFS4000 and RFS7000 model wireless controllers:

RFS4000 - ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, ge5, up1
GE ports on are RJ-45 supporting 10/100/1000Mbps

ME ports are out-of-band management ports used to manage the controller via CLI or Web UI, even when the other ports on the controller are unreachable.

The ports available on service platforms also vary depending on the model. For example, the following ports are available on NX series service platforms:

NX7500 - ge1-ge10, xge1-xge2
NX9500 series - ge1, ge2, xge1-xge4
EX3500 – ge1-1 to ge1-24
EX3548 – ge1-1 to ge1-48

GE ports are available on devices, such as RFS4000 controllers. GE ports are RJ-45 supporting 10/100/1000Mbps.

An UP port is used to connect to the backbone network. An UP port supports either RJ-45 or fiber. The UP port is the preferred means to connect to the backbone as it has a non-blocking 1gbps connection unlike the GE ports.

The following ports are available on access points:
AP6522 - GE1/POE (LAN)
AP6562 - GE1/POE
AP7161 - GE1/POE (LAN), GE2 (WAN)
AP7502 - GE1 (THRU), fe1, fe2, fe3,
AP7522 - GE1/POE (LAN)
AP7532 - GE1/POE (LAN)
AP8163 - GE1/POE (LAN), GE2 (WAN)
Note
For a NX7500 model service platform, there are options for either a 2 port or 4 port network management card. Either card can be managed using WiNG. If the 4 port card is used, ports ge7-ge10 are available. If the 2 port card is used, ports xge1-xge2 are available.
