Device Configuration

Table 13: Port Configuration Dialog Box - General Tab (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

Port Type

The port type; optionally includes reference to the module to which it

 

is attached and port connector type.

 

 

Port Functionality

The physical media type of the selected port. If the port conforms to

 

a certain standard (Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this

 

standard is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard,

 

Private is displayed.

 

 

Administrative

The administrative state of the selected port:

Status

Enabled - the port is enabled and can transmit and receive

 

packets.

 

Disabled - the port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive

 

packets.

 

 

Tagging Mode

The port’s operational mode regarding VLANs. The possible modes

 

are:

 

Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it

 

belongs to the port’s VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.

 

VLAN tagging, per IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard. The port will

 

transmit frames with a VLAN ID of 1 - 3071 for Avaya G250/

 

G350 Devices and 1 - 4090 for Avaya G450 Devices.

 

 

VLAN ID

The VLAN number of the port.

 

 

Port Priority Level

The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module.

 

For effective transmission, multimedia packets must be received at

 

regular intervals. To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets

 

coming out of a port.

 

Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all

 

incoming packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority

 

will pass through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low

 

priority packets to eventually enter the bus.

 

Possible values are: User Priority 0...User Priority 7

 

 

Auto Negotiation

The configured state of the Auto-Negotiation protocol between two

Mode

stations. When enabled, Auto-Negotiation detects the highest

 

common denominator for communication between endstations, and

 

sets both to the same highest common setting. It also delivers

 

remote link status.

 

For 10BaseT and 100BaseT ports, Auto-Negotiation determines the

 

speed and Duplex Mode of communication between the endstations.

 

For Gigabit ports, Auto-Negotiation determines the Flow Control

 

setting of the ports.

 

For more information, refer to Auto-Negotiationin The Reference

 

Guide.
