Figure 2-16. The Ethernet Configuration Window

If you select the Configuration option available for a standard Ethernet or FDDI interface

TIP or for a Fast Ethernet port on a first generation module, an entirely different window will appear; see Configuring Standard Ethernet and FDDI Ports, page 2-37, or Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports on First Generation Modules, page 2-39, for information on configuring these ports.

From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or — for 100Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX/CX interfaces — set the port to Auto Negotiate so that the appropriate operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you set will determine the port’s speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

The window displays the following information about the selected Ethernet port:
