Bridging

ON	Indicates that full duplex mode is being used on this
	interface.
OFF	Indicates that full duplex mode is not being used on this
	interface.
N/A	Indicates that full duplex mode is not available on this
	interface.

Setting the Duplex Mode

You set an interface to use or not use Full Duplex Switched Ethernet by turning the full duplex capability ON or OFF from this window.

To turn the full duplex mode ON or OFF:

1.In the Duplex Modes window, highlight the interface you want to change.

2.Double-click on the highlighted interface. The interface list will be brieﬂy grayed-out as the set is being made to the device.

If the set is successful, the interface list will reactivate and the Full Duplex: indicator will switch from ON to OFF or OFF to ON.

If you attempt to set an interface to full duplex mode that does not support this feature, you will receive a “Set Failed” error message.

3.Click on Cancel to close the window.

NOTE

Because full duplex conÞguration takes place as you set each change individually, any changes that have been completed up to the point of clicking on Cancel will have been set at the device. Make sure that you have undone any unwanted changes before exiting the window.

Ethernet Port Conﬁguration

You can also conÞgure duplex modes from the Port ConÞguration window.

To access the Port ConÞguration window from the Bridge Status window:

1.Click on the desired Port button () to display the Port menu.

2.Click on Conﬁguration. The Port Conﬁguration window for the selected Ethernet interface, Figure 2-23,will appear.

To access the Port ConÞguration window from the Chassis View window:

1.Click on the appropriate port index to access the Port menu.

2.Click on Conﬁguration. The Port Conﬁguration window for the selected Ethernet interface, Figure 2-23,will appear.
