High Speed Interface Configuration Screen (2H23-50R Only)
Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of slots 5 and 6. Depending on whether a 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Interface Module is installed, this field displays the following:
•With a 100BASE-FX interface: 100Base-FX, 100Base-FXFD (full duplex), or N/A when the slot is empty.
•With a 100BASE-TX interface: Unknown, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, 100Base-TXFD(full duplex), or N/A when the slot is empty.
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an interface in slot 5 or 6. The field toggles between 100Base-FX and 100Base-FXFD (full duplex) when an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 is installed. Section 5.13.1 describes how to configure a port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3.
In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local Management provides the user with the option of manually configuring that port.
If an FE-100TX is installed, the field steps to Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is required. Section 5.13.2 describes how to manually configure an FE-100TX.
In Auto-Negotiation, the FE-100TX negotiates to the highest common denominator of the two interfaces. The order of priority of negotiation is 100Base-TXFD, 100Base-TX, 10Base-TFD, and 10Base-T.
