Description
AUX
This port is an auxiliary access port intended
for offline access, configuration, and troubleshooting of a system
during installation.
Internet/LAN/WAN Ports
Ports 1- 4 are individual ports, used for internet,
local area network (LAN), or multi-path label switching (MPLS) connectivity. By
default, all ports 1- 4 are DHCP-enabled ports. On the LAN port,
configure the application reachability probe to
monitor the reachability of an application on a given path. If you
do not configure a port for the application probe, an alarm is raised to indicate
that application probe is disabled.
