Ethernet ports and indicators

Ethernet ports are located side by side on the rear of the node canister. All control enclosure models have two 1 Gbps Ethernet ports per node canister. Model 2076-312 and model 2076-324 also have two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports per node canister.

For the 1 Gbps support, the Ethernet ports are numbered 1 on the left and 2 on the right as shown in Figure 1. Port 1 must be connected; the use of port 2 is optional. Two LEDs are associated with each port.

Note: The reference to the left and right locations applies to canister 1, which is the upper canister. The port locations are inverted for canister 2, which is the lower canister.

This figure shows the location of the Ethernet ports on the 2076-112 and 2076-124 node canisters.

Table 1 provides a description of the two LEDs.

Name Description Color
Link speed (LED on right of upper canister) The LED is on when there is a link connection; otherwise, the LED is off. Green
Activity (LED on left of upper canister) The LED is flashing when there is activity on the link; otherwise, the LED is off. Yellow
