Port Menus

Port Information

The Port Information screen displays the port status, link state, the communication speed and duplex mode, as well as the flow control and 802.1Q Trunk status. To change any of the port settings, use the Port Configuration menu. The parameters shown in the following figure and table are for the RJ-45 ports.

 

Figure 3-35. Port Information

 

 

Parameter

Description

Admin Status

Shows if the port is enabled or not.

Link Status

Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.

Speed Status

Shows the port speed (1000M).

Duplex Status

Displays the current duplex mode.

Flow Control Status

Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can eliminate

 

frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations connected

 

directly to the switch. Back pressure is used for half duplex and

 

IEEE 802.3x for full duplex.

802.1Q Trunk

Shows the VLAN trunk status for the port. A VLAN Trunk link

Status

between two VLAN-aware switches will carry traffic from all

 

VLANs, allowing VLAN tagged frames to maintain their VLAN

 

ID across multiple switches. When enabled, a port joins all

 

configured VLANs and the untagged port VLAN ID (PVID) is set

 

to 4000, a reserved VLAN ID for trunk ports.
