>ETHERNET SWITCH CONFIGURATION > PORT X

The Quad Ethernet Switch module provides the capability to individually disable interfaces on the module. Selecting DISABLE from the PORT X menu disables the port, stopping all data passing through the interface.

>ETHERNET SWITCH CONFIGURATION > SPEED/DUPLEX

Defines the speed and duplex for the selected Ethernet interface. Available options are: 100/FDX (100 Mbps with full-duplex operation), 100/HDX (100 Mbps with half-duplex operation), 10/FDX (10 Mbps with full-duplex operation), and 10/HDX (10 Mbps with half-duplex operation), and AUTO (automatically detects speed and duplex of the connection). The speed and duplex settings of the TRACER Ethernet port and the attached Ethernet equipment should be identical; if the TRACER is set to auto-negotiation, the attached equipment should also be set for auto-negotiation.When the SPEED/DUPLEX is manually set, 802.3u auto-negotiation is disabled; the Ethernet equipment connected to the manual port must be manually set to the same speed/duplex settings. When set to AUTO, the actual negotiated speed and duplex of the system can be displayed on the Ethernet Switch Status page.

>ETHERNET SWITCH STATUS

Figure 29 shows the Ethernet Switch Status menu page, which displays the current speed and duplex operation for each switch interface (on both the local and remote TRACER 64x0 systems) as well as transmit and receive data statistics for the Ethernet interface (from both the local and remote TRACER 64x0 systems) and RF link.

Figure 29. Ethernet Switch Module Status

>ETHERNET SWITCH STATUS > TX PACKETS

Displays a counter of all data packets transmitted out the local and remote TRACER 64x0 Ethernet interfaces. Use this data as an indicator for how many packets are being transmitted between the four Ethernet interfaces versus over the wireless link (WAN stats). The WAN statistics (Ethernet packets transmitted over the RF link) provide a quick way to determine Ethernet packet loss over the wireless link; the RX PACKETS on the local system should match the TX PACKETS on the remote side (and vice versa).

>ETHERNET SWITCH STATUS > TX PACKETS DROPPED

Displays a counter of all transmit data packets that were unable to be transmitted out the individual Ethernet interfaces (for both the local and remote TRACER 64x0 units). Use this data as an indicator of congestion on the Ethernet network segments. Dropped packets on the WAN interface can indicate that the provisioned bandwidth for the switch module is insufficient.
