Yeah.. Thats possible.. We do this sometimes..
Here is what you need to do:
At enabled Port types, add a port to hardwired. Staying with LC-MM this
would look like this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13800553/Enabled%20port%20types.jpg .
Now you have to tell rack tables which ports this can be linked to at
'Port compatibility’.
Here you can create a rule for every port type you want to link with
another, but you always have to do it in both Directions:
For example: From Interface ‘LC-MM’ to interface ‘LC-MM Male’ AND
‘LC-MM Male’ to interface ‘LC-MM’
Here is a little screenshot where you can see both sides:

Yes, we use the linkmgmt plugin. And for all our copper panels all the
backend ports are connected.
The LC-MM you use you have created yourself right? I cant find that one
anywhere.
I did create something simular, and added it to both SFP+ and SFP in
"Enabled port types". But dont know if that is the correct way to do it?
Btw, thanks for the backend link script. I'll use that for connecting
everything when i get the ports configured.

Hi Tormod,
I’d recommend to simply set it up by the cables and plugs you are using,
since the speed may change depending on the SFPs you use . For example if
you are using MultiMode Fibres with LC plugs simply choose ‘LC-MM’
Heres a little example of our workflow:
Set up 2 Patchpanels, for Multimode fibres with LC Plugs, looking like
this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13800553/mmpp_ports.jpg
To be able to do proper cabling, you need to setup the LinkManagement
Plugin:
https://github.com/RackTables/racktables-contribs/blob/5d7be9a30edaa94d9516c9120c3991e388ab09d9/linkmgmt.php
)
To link the Patchpanels' Backend Ports we are using the mass-cableing
plugin which I’ve uploaded here for you:
https://github.com/madmax2012/racktables_testing/blob/master/mass_cableing.php
Just type in the Ports you want to link following the scheme:
“Device 1 Name”,”Port Number","Device 2 Name”,”Device 2 Port
Number","Device 1 Porttype","Device 2 Porttype”
Porttype 336 is for backend Ports, Porttype 0 for Frontend.
To link the backend ports of 2 Patchpanels, it will look like this:
"MMPP1","P0","MMPP2","P0","336","336"
"MMPP1","P1","MMPP2","P1","336","336"
"MMPP1","P2","MMPP2","P2","336","336"
"MMPP1","P3","MMPP2","P3","336","336"
"MMPP1","P4","MMPP2","P4","336","336"
"MMPP1","P5","MMPP2","P5","336","336"
"MMPP1","P6","MMPP2","P6","336","336"
"MMPP1","P7","MMPP2","P7","336","336"
"MMPP1","P8","MMPP2","P8","336","336"
"MMPP1","P9","MMPP2","P9","336",”336"
Once you are fineshed seting-up and linking the Patchpanels, they will
look like this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13800553/mmpp1_2_linked.jpg
Mass cabling is still under development, but it shouldn’t contain any
serious bugs. It has not been tested yet under RackTables 0.20.8, but it
should work anyway.
The link management for Racktables 0.20.8 is here:
https://github.com/RackTables/racktables-contribs/blob/master/linkmgmt.php
I hope this helps :)
Cheers,
Max

Betreff: [racktables-users] Fiber Patchpanel
When i setup a fiber patchpanel, i dont know yet if the port will transer
10GB or 1GB. How have you guys solved this?
I must choose between empty SFP+ og empty SFP.. And if that changes i have
to delete the port and create a new with the correct setting...
Any idea how to fix that?
It should be a choice for "inherit" and the patchpanel port inherited the
port that it was connected to.. Or any for for "any", that allowed for
connection to everything..
Mvh/Best regards
