Configuring Physical Interfaces

Use this task to configure a physical interface for a session delivery device.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider, and click Devices.
2. In the Managed Devices pane, select a device and click Load.
3. In the navigation panel, click the Global Settings folder to expand the configuration navigation tree for the loaded device.
4. In the navigation panel, click Interfaces.
5. In the Interfaces pane, select a physical interface in the Physical interface table, and click Edit.
6. In the Physical interface pane, complete the following fields:

   Name	Description
   Auto-negotiation - 10/100Mbps field	If the default enabled is selected for the device, then this device and the device to which it is linked can automatically negotiate the duplex mode and speed for the link. If you want auto-negotiation disabled so that you can set these link parameters manually, select disabled to disable auto-negotiation and operate in HALF duplex mode (default) so that the devices do not engage in link negotiation or select FULL duplex mode to let both devices on a link send and receive packets simultaneously. You can set the connection speed to either 10 or 100 Mbps for HALF or FULL duplex mode.
   Virtual MAC address field	Enter the virtual MAC address of the session delivery device.
   Health score decrement for management interface failure% field	If you want to enter a value other than the default (50 percent), enter the percentage that determines what is considered to be the active and standby health status of the physical interface for alarm purposes. This parameter is available if the Maintenance or Control parameter is selected for the Operation type field.

7. If you want to change the default alarm threshold for the physical interface (minor), click Add in the Alarm threshold section.
8. In the Add Alarm threshold dialog, select from the following Severity drop-down list filter levels for syslog and SNMP alarms:
   • minor
   • critical
   • major
9. Click Apply.
10. In the Success dialog, click OK.
11. Click Apply to finish configuring the physical interface.
