Figure 2-13. Fast Ethernet ConÞguration

NOTE

The Advertised Abilities functionality is not supported by the FE-100FX Fast Ethernet port module; if you launch the ConÞguration window for one of these modules, the Advertised Abilities and Remote Capabilities sections of the window will be grayed out. If you launch the window for a port module slot which has no FE module installed, the Port Type will display as Unknown, the Link State will display No Link, and the rest of the Þelds will be blank and/or grayed out.

Note that, if you select the ConÞguration option available for a standard Ethernet or

TIP FDDI interface, an entirely different window will appear; see ConÞguring Ethernet and FDDI Ports, page 2-23, for information on conÞguring these ports.

From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or Ñ for 100Base-TX interfaces Ñ set the port to auto negotiation so that the appropriate operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you set will determine the speed of the port and whether it uses Full Duplex or Standard Mode bridging.
