VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide
38
Link: Show that if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is
connected to a working-well device, the Link will show the
link “Up”; otherwise, it will show “Down”. This is
determined by the hardware on both devices of the
connection. No default value.
State: Show that the communication function of the port is
“Enabled” or “Disabled”. When it is enabled, traffic can be
transmitted and received via this port. When it is disabled,
no traffic can be transferred through this port. Port State is
configured by user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Nego.: Show the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two
modes supported in the switch. They are auto-negotiation
mode “Enabled” and forced mode “Disabled”. When in
“Enabled” mode, this function will automatically negotiate
by hardware itself and exchange each other the capability of
speed and duplex mode with other site which is linked, and
comes out the best communication way. When in “Disabled”
mode, both parties must have the same setting of speed and
duplex, otherwise, both of them will not be linked. In this
case, the link result is “Down”.
Default: Enabled
Speed / Duplex Mode: Display the speed and duplex of all port. There are three
speeds 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps supported for TP
media, and the duplex supported is half duplex and full
duplex. If the media is 1Gbps fiber, it is 1000Mbps
supported only. The status of speed/duplex mode is
determined by 1) the negotiation of both local port and link
partner in “Auto Speed” mode or 2) user setting in “Force”
mode. The local port has to be preset its capability.
In port 1 – 24, they are supported Fast Ethernet with TP
media only, so the result will show 100M/Full or 100M/Half,
10M/Full and 10M/Half duplex.
In port 25 and port 26, if the media is 1000Mbps with TP
media, it will show the combinations of 10/100M and
Full/Half duplex, 1000Mbps and Full duplex only. If the
media is 1000Mbps with fiber media, it will show only
1000M/Full duplex.
RX Pause: The way that the port adopts to process the PAUSE frame. If
it shows “on”, the port will care the PAUSE frame;
otherwise, the port will ignore the PAUSE frame.
Default: None
Tx Pause: It decides that whether the port transmits the PAUSE frame
or not. If it shows “on”, the port will send PAUSE frame;
otherwise, the port will not send the PAUSE frame.
Default: None
Port Description: General information for that port.
