Click the logical interface name in the Logical Interfaces table.The Logical Interface page is displayed.6. Enter the IP address and mask length.7. Click Apply.Each IP addresses and mask length that you add are added to the table when you clickApply. The entry fields return to blank to allow you to add more IP addresses.Use the delete check box to delete IP addresses from the table.8. (Optional) Change the interface logical name to a more meaningful name by typing thepreferred name in the Logical name text box.9. Click Apply.10. (Optional) Add a comment to further define the logical interfaces function in the Commentstext box.Click Apply.11. Click Up to go to the Interface Configuration page.12. Click On button that corresponds to the logical interface you configured.Click Apply.The Ethernet interface is now available for IP traffic and routing.13. To make your changes permanent, click Save.Link AggregationNokia IPSO appliances allow you to aggregate (combine) Ethernet ports so that they function asone logical port. You get the benefits of greater bandwidth per logical interface and loadbalancing across the ports. For example, you can aggregate two 10/100 mbps ports so theyfunction like a single port with a theoretical bandwidth of 200 mbps, and you can aggregate twoGigabit Ethernet ports so they function like a single port with a theoretical bandwidth of 2000mbps. If you have only 10/100 interfaces and need a faster link but can’t or don’t want to useGigabit Ethernet, you can use link aggregation to achieve faster throughput with the interfacesyou already have.Another benefit of link aggregation is redundancy—if one of the physical links in an aggregationgroup fails, the traffic is redistributed to the remaining physical links and the logical interfacecontinues to function. If you use static link aggregation, IPSO distributes the outbound IP trafficacross the physical links using the source and destination IP addresses. It uses the source anddestination MAC addresses to distribute non-IP traffic. If you use dynamic link aggregation,IPSO offers several transmit options.Nokia Network Voyager Reference Guide for IPSO 6.0 31
