Introduction

1.0 About the 9145ELB Software

The 9145ELB is a Multiport Network Interface Device (NID) with a modular Network Port. The
sixteen User Ports can operate at a rate of up to 1Gbps. The User Ports can be either copper
(10/100/1000 Mbps UTP) or optical (SFP). The supported Network Port module is the Dual 10G
Optical Ethernet Module

The two 10G ports (10G1 and 10G2) can be administratively configured as one 10G User Port
and one 10G Network Port, or as two 10G Network Ports. The ports can additionally be
configured to be part of the same Link Aggregation Group (LAG) to act as a protected uplink
when both 10G ports are set as Network Ports. The 9145ELB supports Link Aggregation
compliant with IEEE 802.1AX-2008.

NOTE: LAG is not enabled in this release.

When the 9145ELB is equipped with a SONET/SDH network port module, it can be used to
encapsulate customer Ethernet frames for transport over SONET networks.

The 9145ELB supports VLAN multiplexing of C-VLANs into S-VLANs. This feature allows
customer frames to be multiplexed into S-VLANs through the use of a C-VLAN/S-VLAN Map. An
additional VLAN Tag, the Tunnel tag (or T-Tag) may be added to the egress frames on the
Network Port. Tunnel Tags may be useful when transporting services through third-party/
wholesale Operators.

1.1 Management Access

The 9145ELB can be managed through several access ports.

VT-100 Terminal The VT-100 menu-based user interface is used to manage the NID locally via
the EIA-232 serial port, primarily to perform initial configurations on the NID before it is
connected to the network.

Telnet Once the 9145ELB has been connected to your network, it can be accessed using Telnet.
All commands and functions are available using standard Telnet software.

SNMP All commands and functions are also available using an SNMP manager. The 9145ELB
supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and many standard MIBs as well as CP proprietary MIBs. See
“Supported MIBs” on page 10.
