DES-3226 NWay Standalone Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

•Trunk Load Sharing Algorithm:<Src Address> – The trunk load sharing options are Dst Address, Src&Dst Address, and Src Address.

•Backpressure:<Disabled> – This allows you to enable or disable the backpressure function for the Switch.

•Switch GMRP:<Disabled> – Group Multicast Registration Protocol is a protocol that allows members to dynamically join Multicast groups. GMRP must also be enabled on specific ports on the Port GMRP Settings screen for it to take effect. This global control is especially useful if you want to turn off GMRP on the whole Switch without making changes to each individual port.

•Switch 802.1X:<Disabled> – Set the 802.1X access control by toggling between Enabled and Disabled.

•Switch Filtering EAPOL PDU:<Yes> – This option is only available if 802.1X is disabled. It filters Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LANs Packet Data Units (EAPOL PDU) when enabled.

•Switch Traffic Segmentation:<Disabled> – When this feature is Enabled, ports on the Switch are not able to communicate with one another. If there is not an optional module present, Port 1 becomes the server port. If there is a 1-port optional module, this port will be the server port. If there is a 2-port optional module, both ports act as server ports.

Highlight Configure Ports from the Configuration menu and press Enter:

Figure 6-14. Configure Ports screen

Toggle the View Ports field, using the space bar, to view the configuration of either ports 1 through 12 or ports 13 through 24. To configure a specific port, toggle the Configure Port from [ ] to [ ] field until the appropriate port number or port range appears.

Toggle the State field to either enable or disable a given port.

Toggle the Speed/Duplex field to select the speed and duplex/half-duplex state of the port. Auto means auto-negotiation between 10 and 100 Mbps devices, in full- or half-duplex mode. The Auto setting allows the port to automatically determine the fastest settings the device the port is connected to can handle, and then to use those settings. The other options are 100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, and 10M/Half. There is no automatic adjustment of port settings with any option other than Auto.
