Configuring the Switch

The Device Control menu is used to set the communication parameters for

individual ports, and to fine-tune the performance of your switch by adjusting the

forwarding mode, flow control, and specific Spanning Tree parameters.

Configuration menus are also provided for advanced functions, such as Virtual

LANs, and port mirroring. Each of the setup screens provided by the

configuration menus is described in the following sections.
