The 9H42x-xx Module View

Configuring Standard Ethernet Ports

The Port Configuration window available for standard Ethernet ports allows you to set an interface to either Standard or Full Duplex Mode. Full Duplex mode effectively doubles the available wire speed by allowing the interface to both receive and transmit simultaneously. This window will also display the mode currently in effect on the selected interface.

To access the Port Configuration Window:

1.From the Module View, click to select the port you wish to configure; the port menu will display;

or

From the Bridge Status window, click to select the port you wish to configure; the bridge port menu will display.

2.Drag down to Configuration, and release. The Port Configuration window, Figure 2-8, will appear.

Figure 2-8. Port Configuration

Note that, if you select the Configuration option available for a Fast Ethernet interface, an

TIP entirely different window will appear; see Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports, below, for information on configuring these ports.

Use the options in this window to select the desired mode:

Standard Mode

In Standard Mode, an interface can only either transmit or receive at any given time, and must wait for one activity to be completed before switching to the next activity (receive or transmit). In this mode, standard wire speeds (10 Mbps for Ethernet) are available.

Full Duplex

In Full Duplex Mode, an interface can both receive and transmit packets at the same time, effectively doubling the available wire speed to 20 Mbps.
