CONFIGURATION

5.2ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SCREEN

When to Use

To display the link status and current operating mode of each Ethernet port. This screen also provides access to the Ethernet Port Configuration screen, which allows configuration of the Ethernet port.

In normal operation, all front panel ports automatically establish a link with the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. However, the Ethernet Interface Configuration screen can be used to access the Ethernet Port Configuration screen to select a port and display its characteristics. The Ethernet Port Configuration screen is used to change the operating mode of the port and enable or disable the advertisement to another device. Refer to Section 5.3 for details.

How to Access

Use the arrow keys to highlight the ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION menu item on the Port Configuration Menu screen and press ENTER. The Ethernet Interface Configuration screen, Figure 5-3, displays.
