1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Ethernet Interface Card is a software configurable plug-in card for the e-DXC device.
There are two types of Ethernet cards. One is equipped with an L2 switch and one is equipped without an
L2 switch. Both cards have 8 FE Ports and 1 GbE Port. The cards are pictured below.

Note: Local LAN Port failure is reflected upstream at the WAN Port. The Ethernet port of each device is
monitored. If a link failure is detected at either device a signal will automatically be sent to the other device
to shut down the corresponding Ethernet port. Thus, the shut down of an Ethernet port is propagated.
Similarly, if WAN (VCG) port failure occurs, link failure propagation will shut down the corresponding LAN
ports. Link Failure Propagation is for E-line mode only.

Note: Local LAN Port failure is reflected upstream at the WAN Port. The Ethernet port of each device is
monitored. If a link failure is detected at either device a signal will automatically be sent to the other device
to shut down the corresponding Ethernet port. Thus, the shut down of an Ethernet port is propagated.
Similarly, if WAN (VCG) port failure occurs, link failure propagation will shut down the corresponding LAN
ports. Link Failure Propagation is for E-line mode only.

This chapter introduces a common application for this card, which is setting up a ring topology using Ethernet
links. ELAN, or short for Ethernet Local Area Network, is the name we will use for this application.
NOTE: This application is only for the Ethernet card with the L2 Switch. Only FE (fast Ethernet) of 10/100
speeds are supported.

Although physically connected as a ring, logically it is viewed as a tree or a linear topology. This allows it to
maintain the simple broadcast functionality common to LAN networks without incurring loops. To maintain
this functionality, MSTP (multiple spanning tree protocol) is used.
