Name

A user-assigned name for this port (possibly a drop

 

name or the name of the station or other device

 

connected to the port).

 

 

Category

Allows you to select either User Port or Service

 

Port:

 

• The User Port is intended for use with switch

 

connections to end user nodes.

 

• The Service Port is intended for use with

 

switch connections to servers or other

 

switches. The Service Port allows the switch

 

to generate both log messages and alarm

 

messages (traps). The User Port only

 

generates log messages, preventing your

 

network management station from being

 

overwhelmed by port up/down messages that

 

result from users turning workstations on and

 

off.
