Displaying the Port Parameters

The port numbering system in the AlliedWare Plus web browser interface is different from the port numbering system in the CLI. For an example of the port numbering equivalents for the first five ports, see Table 1.

Within the display, there is no differentiation between ports 25 through 28 and ports 25R through 28R. In the web interface, if you want to see if port 25 is connected versus port 25R, go to the home page and look at the illustration of the switch. For an example of the home page, see Figure 4 on page 23.

To display the settings for all of the switch ports, do the following:

1.Select the Switching tab.

The Switching tab is displayed. See Figure 19.
