Hello,
I need a little help and clarification on this topic: What is an "Other" port type? What does it means, please?
On a 6200P appliance I was searching for any available interface.
I saw the interface state and configuration using cpview and "ethtool eth1-04" and the Port type is "OTHER", not twisted pair or FIBRE. The Field for "supported port" is blank.
Should I consider it available and working?
Where I can find more information about that state of the port?
Here below the output (a short version) and below the Gaia Versions:
cpview:
| Interface State Type Port Driver Speed
| lo On loopback N/A N/A N/A
| eth1 On ethernet TP igb N/A
| eth1-01 On ethernet FIBRE i40e 10G
| eth1-02 On ethernet FIBRE i40e 10G
| eth1-03 On ethernet FIBRE i40e 10G
| eth8 Off ethernet TP igb N/A
| eth1-04 Off ethernet OTHER i40e N/A
