Installing the ILC205 Module
Installing the ILC205 Module
The ILC205 module and associated SFPs are hot swappable, enabling you to safely install them while power is
applied to the host chassis. Before you install the module, see the ILC205 data sheet for a detailed description
of the module specications including environmental requirements that you must adhere to when installing
the module.
To install the ILC205 module in the host chassis (see Figure 3), perform the following steps:
1. From the back of the chassis, remove the two screws that secure the blank tray to the unused function
module slot.
Use any available function module slot.
2. Slide the module into the chassis slot using the printed circuit board guide rails on either side of the slot.
3. Push the module in until it is rmly seated into the backplane and ush with the chassis.
4. Tighten the two mounting screws that secure the module to the chassis.
5. Install the Artel-approved SFPs in the module (handle on top as shown in Figure 3).
Push the SFP into the socket located on the right side of the function module until it is rmly seated into
the socket.
6. Insert a blank tray in any unused chassis module slots to maintain proper ventilation.

Cabling the ILC205 Modules
This section describes how to cable the external connections of the ILC205 module, which can receive external
signals over its RJ45 connectors and SFPs.The SFPs, which can also be used for transmitting external signals,
can be optical (LC connectors) or electrical (RJ45 connectors). The cabling conguration that you use depends
on your application.
Figure 4. ILC205 RJ45 Connectors and SFP Sockets
Cabling the Data Input RJ45 Connections
Use Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs to connect the module’s RJ45 connectors to the source or destination
devices.
Cabling the SFP Connections
When using optical SFPs, use a single mode ber when connecting to the LC connectors of the SFPs.
To cable the optical connections, perform the following tasks:
1. Remove the SFP safety plug that protects the TX/RX ports.
Cover any unused optical port to keep the port clean.
2. Connect the ber optic cable between the SFP optical connectors on the module and the external source
or destination device.

Conguring the Module with InnityLink Manager
Conguring the Module with InnityLink Manager
You congure the ILC205 module operation using the InnityLink Manager element management system and
the module’s conguration page.
Guidelines
You can congure the ILC205 Ethernet module to act as either a simple 802.3 switch or as a 802.3ac
VLAN-aware switch. This conguration setting applies to all ports.With VLAN support enabled, you can
enable double tagging (referred to as QinQ) on a single trunking interface. Double tagging inserts a
second tag, known as the provider tag, that is formed from the EtherType congured and the PVID
associated with the frames ingress port. This feature is intended to be used in conjunction with third-
party provider backbones that isolate each customer’s trac based on unique tags. The inner tag is
copied from the original tagged frame and is called the Customer tag. Untagged trac can not be
transported over a congured QinQ link, but can still pass between other ports on the module if needed.
Another key component of VLANs is the ability to prioritize trac.This can be accomplished by attached
devices that send 802.1Q tagged frames with a tag and priority dened or by conguring the module to
add a default VLAN ID and priority on a port-by-port basis. The modules include four queues that are
mapped to the 802.1Q priorities (see Table 4). The module uses a strict priority scheduling algorithm that
forwards frames only when no higher priority frames are in the queue. Keeping the MGMT VLAN priority
at the highest priority (7) will help maintain your management connectivity over congested links.
Caution
Do not modify the VLAN conguration in such a way as to block your management trac path.
Prerequisites
To congure the ILC205 module, you must access the InnityLink Manager that manages the module. For
details about accessing and setting up InnityLink Manager, see the
InnityLink Manager Setup and Operations Manual.

Conguring the Module with InnityLink Manager
5. From the Virtual Layer Conguration panel, congure the virtual layer parameters for each of the
module’s ports as described in the following table.
Table 3. Virtual Layer Conguration Parameters
Parameter Setting Description
Trunk Select Selectable Select a single interface for QinQ trac. If QinQ is not enabled,
then this setting has no aect. Only the selected VLAN
Memberships will be forwarded over the trunk. Use of the PVID
for untagged trac is not allowed.
Select the None option to disable trunking,
VLAN Membership Check/Uncheck
(A to H and MGMT)
Use the A to H checkboxes to specify the port’s VLAN
membership.VLAN membership selections, in conjunction with
the PVID entry, control which frames can egress a particular port
and whether the frames will have a tag added or stripped. When
there are conicting rules pertaining to a specic VID, the
untagged PVID takes priority.
Guidelines
If a port has membership in an enabled VLAN, then trac tagged
with a matching VLAN ID ingresses and the following actions may
occur:
• Tagged trac that ingresses this port may egress any port
that is a tagged member of the VLAN with which the packets
are tagged.This trac will egress tagged.
• Tagged trac that ingresses this port may egress any port
that has a PVID that matches theVLAN ID with which these
packets are tagged.This trac will egress untagged.
• If this trac egresses a port which is both a member of the
VLAN with which these packets are tagged and has PVID
matching that VLAN ID, this trac will egress untagged.
• Untagged trac will be discarded on ingress if this port has a
PVID of 0.

Table 3. Virtual Layer Conguration Parameters
Parameter Setting Description
Untagged
Membership
PVID Specify a port VLAN ID (PVID).The valid range is 0to 4095 where
0signies no PVID assigned.The default is 1.
Guidelines
• If you enter a PVID of 0 and this port is not a member of an
enabled VLAN, then no trac can ingress or egress using this
port.
• Any untagged trac may ingress a port that has a PVID other
than 0 assigned to it.
• Untagged trac that ingresses via this port may egress from
any port with a matching PVID. This trac will egress
untagged.
• Untagged trac that ingresses via this port may also egress
through any port that is a member of an enabled VLAN
whose VLAN ID matches this ports PVID. This trac will
egress tagged.
• Tagged trac may ingress using this port if it is tagged with
a VLAN ID which matches this port’s PVID.
Note: Tagged trac may egress untagged from any port
whose PVID matches this port PVID.This trac may
egress tagged from any port that has a PVID not
matching this port PVID and that is a member of an
enabled VLAN whose VLAN ID matches this port
PVID.
Priority From the drop-down list, select a VLAN priority level of 0to 7(as
dened in 802.1Q) with 7being the highest priority. The default is
0.
Because the internal switch hardware has only four output
queues used to implement QoS (values 0 to 3), two 802.1Q
priority values are mapped to a unique internal QoS queue
priority value as shown in the following table:
Table 4. Priority Mapping
