The Port Configuration Menu displays the following columns of
information about the status of the ports:
Port
The port number.
Trunk
The trunk group number. This column contains the number of the port
trunk if the port is a member of a trunk. To configure a trunk, refer to
Chapter 5, “Port Trunking” on page 57.
Type
The port type. The type for a 10/100/1000Base-TX port is 1000TX. The
port type for an optional fiber optic SFP module is 1000BaseX.
Link
The status of the link between the port and the end node connected to
the port. The possible values are:
Up - A link exists between the port and the end node.
Down - The port has not established a link with an end node.
Status
The current operating status of the port. The possible values are:
Enabled - The port is able to send and receive Ethernet frames. This is
the default setting for all ports on the switch.
Disabled - The port has been manually disabled.
To change a port’s status, see “Enabling and Disabling a Port” on
page 53.
Mode
The port’s speed and duplex mode setting. The possible values are:
Auto - The port is using Auto-Negotiation to set the operating speed
and duplex mode. This is the default setting for all ports. The actual
operating speed and duplex mode of the port are displayed in
parentheses (for example, “Auto (1000F)” for 1000 Mbps full duplex
mode).
If the speed and duplex mode were set manually on a port, mode will
be one of the following:
10-HDx - 10 Mbps in half-duplex mode
100-HDx - 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode
10-FDx - 10 Mbps in full-duplex mode
100-FDx - 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode
1000-FDx - 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
