NOTE
If the optional Token-Ring telemetry interface is not installed, the probe will not
allow you to change the Fast Ethernet interface’s port type from telemetry.
If the Token-Ring telemetry interface is installed, you can configure either the
Fast Ethernet interface or the Token-Ring interface as the telemetry interface. The
Fast Ethernet interface comes from the factory configured as Telemetry and the
Token-Ring interface comes configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.
“Disabled” in this case means that the interface does not function at all, not as a
Telemetry port nor as a Monitor/Transmit port. If you configure the Token-Ring
interface as Telemetry, the Fast Ethernet interface automatically becomes
configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.
Port Type The Fast Ethernet interface is always a Telemetry port. The
telemetry port does not maintain network statistics for the
Fast Ethernet interface. The telemetry interface only allows
the retrieval of WAN network statistics. Port 1 is the Fast
Ethernet interface and it is the telemetry port by default. If the
Token-Ring interface is also installed, you can select either
the Fast Ethernet or the Token-Ring interface (but not both)
as the telemetry port. Refer to “Token-Ring Telemetry
Interface Configuration” on page 29 for information on
configuring the Token-Ring interface. The probe must be
configured with exactly one telemetry port.
