Figure 38: 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. Disabled ports cannot be used.

Physical

Refers to the physical state of the port. If the port state is manually changed it will not change states. 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.
