Port Configuration

The Port Configuration screen lets you display or set communication parameters for any port or module on the Switch, including administrative status, auto-negotiation, default communication speed and duplex mode, as well as flow control in use.

•Link Status - Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.

•Admin Status - Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-enable it after the problem has been resolved.

•Auto Negotiate - Enables or disables auto-negotiation for port speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

•Default Type - If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port will be set to the indicated speed and duplex mode.

•Current Type - Indicates the current speed and duplex mode.

•Flow Control - Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or segments

connected directly to the Switch when its buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex.

Note: Flow control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub.

• Jack Type - Shows the jack type for each port. Ports 1-26 are RJ-45.

Mirror Port Configuration

The Mirror Port Configuration screen allows you to mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner. When mir- roring port traffic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN as the source port.

•Enable Port Mirror - Enables or disables the mirror function.

•Mirrored Ports (Tx/Rx) - The port whose transmitted or received traffic will be mirrored. Press Add to specify mirrored ports.
