Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Port Management

The Port Management tab contains the Port Settings, Link Aggregation, and LACP screens. On the SLM224P and SLM248P only, this tab also contains the PoE Power Settings screen.

Port Management > Port Settings

You use the Port Settings screen to display the speed, duplex mode, and flow control used on specific ports, or use to detect the connection settings used by the attached device. Use the full-duplex mode on ports whenever possible to double the throughput of switch connections. Flow control should also be enabled to control network traffic during periods of congestion and prevent the loss of packets when port buffer thresholds are exceeded. The Switch supports flow control based on the IEEE 802.3x standard.

The information on the Port Settings screen is read-only. To edit this information, click Details to the right of a port’s information to edit that port’s settings using the Port Configuration screen. For detailed information on the Port Configuration screen, refer to the “Port Configuration“ section.
