Chapter 10 Configuring LRE Configuring LRE Ports Beginning with the first profile in a sequence, the switch attempts to apply each profile within that sequence to the LRE interface. The switch continues these attempts until it converges (convergence time refers to the time required for the switch to settle on an appropriate profile for the LRE interface). The link is DOWN until a link is established by one of the profiles in the sequence, after which, it is UP. For additional information on rate selection, see the "Using Rate Selection to Automatically Assign Profiles" section on page 10-10. CPE Ethernet Links The CPE Ethernet link settings define the connection between the CPE Ethernet port and a remote Ethernet device, such as a PC. Note From CMS and the CLI, you can configure and monitor the Ethernet link on a Cisco 575 LRE CPE and Cisco 585 LRE CPE. For information about the switch LEDs, see the Catalyst 2950 Series Hardware Installation Guide. Keep these considerations in mind when you have CPE devices connected to the LRE ports: • Use the shutdown interface configuration command to disable the LRE interface transmitter on any LRE ports that are not connected to a CPE device. This prevents access to the LRE port and prevents the power emitted from the port from affecting other ports. • You cannot configure the flow-control setting on the LRE ports. The flow-control setting on the CPE Ethernet port is automatically disabled in half-duplex mode and is automatically enabled in full-duplex mode. • You can connect Cisco 575 LRE CPEs and Cisco 585 LRE CPEs to the same LRE switch. • You can hot-swap the CPE devices without powering down the switch or disrupting the other switch ports. Use the show controllers ethernet-controller privileged EXEC command to display the internal switch statistics, the statistics collected by the LRE switch interface, and the statistics collected by the CPE LRE interface. For information about this command, refer to the switch command reference. Configuring LRE Ports These sections describe configuration guidelines and how to assign a profile to all or to individual LRE ports.
