Managing the Module

In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the preceding sections, the Module View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your module and keep it operating properly. Module management functions include configuring ports, setting the module date and time, and enabling and disabling ports.

Configuring Ports

The Configuration options available for standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet ports allow you to configure operating parameters specific to each port type: for standard Ethernet ports, you can set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports, you can set a variety of duplex mode and negotiation parameters. Both standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Port Configuration windows are available from the Module View Port menus and from the Bridge Status window Port menus. There is no Configuration option available for the backplane INB interface.
