Figure 33: Switch Port Configuration
State
All ports have two states: enabled or disabled. Enabled ports transmit and receive data packets. Disabled ports can not transmit or receive packets. You can disable a port but you will not be able to use a disabled port.
Physical
Refers to the physical state of the port. If you manually change the state of a port it will remain in that state until you change it. It will not auto negotiate speed and duplex mode. All TX ports can be in the following physical states:
∙Auto
∙100Tx/Half
∙100Tx/Full
∙10Tx/Half
∙10Tx/Full
Ports in the Auto state automatically negotiate speed and duplex mode. This is the default setting.
Ports set in the 100Tx/Half physical state are set to work at 100 Mbps half duplex.
Ports set in the 100Tx/Full state are set to work at 100 Mbps full duplex.
