Configuring Interface Connections

You can use the Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration page to enable/disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to advertise, or manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

Command Attributes

Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)

Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then reenable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an interface for security reasons.

Speed/Duplex – Allows you to manually set the port speed and duplex mode.

Flow Control – Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control.
