To display the Port Settings window, choose Configure
> Port Settings.
The Port Settings window provides configuration settings
for the switch ports. These settings determine how the switch ports
forward data to the devices to which they are connected. You can change
these settings to fit your network needs.
You can sort the contents in each table column either
alphabetically or numerically. To sort a table column, click the column
heading.
To save any changes that you make in this window,
click Submit. To discard any unsaved changes, click Cancel.
Port
|
The number of the switch port, including
port type (such as Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet),
the module slot number (0, 1, or 2), and the specific port number.
See the switch hardware and software documentation
for more information about using these ports on the switch:
Port 0: Internal 100-Mbps
management port
Ports 1 to 16: Internal
1000-Mbps ports
Ports 17 to 20: External
dual-purpose, small-form factor (SFP)/RJ-45 ports
Ports 21 to 22: External
10/100/1000-Mbps ports
Ports 23 to 24: Dual-purpose 1000-Mbps ports (internal cross-connect/external RJ-45)
Note: Internal ports cannot be configured.

Description
|
The description of the switch port.
The limit is 18 characters.
|
Enabled
|
The state of the switch port. Check
Enabled to enable the port. Uncheck Enabled to administratively
(manually) shut down the port.
|
Speed
|
The operating speed of the switch
port. Choose the speed from the drop-down list. You can choose Auto
(autonegotiation) if the connected device can negotiate the link speed
with the switch port. The default is Auto.
The default settings are:
100 for the internal
100-Mbps management port.
1000 for the internal
1000-Mbps ports.
1000 for the internal/external
dual-purpose 1000-Mbps cross-connect ports.
1000 for the external
1000-Mbps SFP module ports.
Auto for the external
10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 ports.
Note: You cannot change the speed setting
on the internal ports.
Flow control does not apply to the internal ports.
Note: By using the switch command-line
interface (CLI), you can configure the internal/external
dual-purpose 1000-Mbps cross-connect ports to operate as either internal
or external ports. If these ports are configured as external ports,
you can change their speed setting.
|
Duplex
|
The duplex mode of the switch port.
The default is Auto.
Choose the duplex mode from the drop-down list:
Auto (autonegotiation)
if the connected device can negotiate with the switch
Full (full duplex)
if both devices can send data at the same time
Half (half duplex)
if one or both devices cannot send data at the same time
Note: On Gigabit Ethernet ports only,
you cannot set the port to half duplex if the port speed is set to Auto.
The default settings are:
Auto for the internal
100-Mbps management port.
Full for the internal
1000-Mbps ports.
Full for the internal/external
dual-purpose 1000-Mbps cross-connect ports.
Auto for the external
10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 ports.
Note: You cannot change the duplex mode
on the internal ports.
Note: By using the switch command-line
interface (CLI), you can configure the internal/external
dual-purpose 1000-Mbps cross-connect ports to operate as either internal
or external ports. If these ports are configured as external ports,
you can change their duplex mode.
