4. Configure the IP address and sub-net mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by entering the following commands: BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 1/1 BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0 Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same sub-net on the interface. Enabling and disabling the interfaces By default, all PowerConnect B-RX Series interfaces are disabled. To enable an interface, you must enter the enable command at the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management interface, enter the enable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI: BigIron RX(config-if-mgmt-1)# enable You can disable each of these interfaces using the disable command at the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to disable the management port, enter the disable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI: BigIron RX (config-if-mgmt-1)# disable Connecting the PowerConnect B-RX Series to a network device You can connect a PowerConnect B-RX Series switch to another 10 Gigabit Ethernet network device. The PowerConnect B-RX Series switch supports connections to other vendors' as well as Dell devices. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface module includes four ports where you can install fiber optic modules provided by Dell. The SFP fiber optic modules provide an optical transceiver or a physical medium dependent (PMD) interface for fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY). Table 4 outlines the fiber optic modules (PMDs) provided by Dell, the link distance associated with each, the cabling needed to connect the PowerConnect B-RX Series switch to another network device, and the part number associated with the module. TABLE 4 Fiber optic modules and cabling Fiber optic modules (PMD) Distance Fiber optic cabling Short wavelength 850 nm serial Long wavelength 1310 nm serial Extra long wavelength 1550 nm serial 86 meters 300 meters 10 km 40 km 50/125 micron multimode fiber (500 Mhz km) 50/125 micron multimode fiber (2000 Mhz km) 9/125 micron single-mode fiber with LC connectors 9/125 micron single-mode fiber with LC connectors NOTE Cable installation and network configuration will affect overall transmission capability. The numbers provided above represent the accepted recommendations of the various standards. For network-specific recommendations, consult your local Dell reseller or system engineer.
