Ethernet Interface Configuration Screen

Table 5-2 Ethernet Interface Configuration Screen Field Descriptions (Continued)

Use this field…	To…
Link	See whether or not there is a physical connection from the port to
(Read-Only)	another device. One of the following values is displayed:
	Link – There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection to
	another device.
	No Link – There is no link signal present and there is no valid physical
	connection to another device.
Speed	See the current operational speed in Mbps (10, 100 or 1000). If the port
(Read-Only)	has not completed its auto-negotiation, “NA” displays.
Duplex	See the current duplex setting as follows:
(Read-Only)	Half – the port is operating in half duplex mode.
	Full – the port is operating in full duplex mode.
	NA – the port has not completed its auto-negotiation.
Config	See whether Auto-Negotiation (AutoNeg) or Manual is enabled. In
(Read-Only)	normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX interface is capable of
	auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is
	required.
		NOTE: In normal operation, the front panel ports of the switch
		device automatically establish a link with the device at the other
		end of the segment without requiring user setup. However,
		Local Management provides the user with the option of
		manually configuring that port.
FDX FC	See the current full duplex flow control setting. Flow control is used to
(Read-Only)	manage the transmission between two devices as specified by
	IEEE 802.3x to prevent receiving ports from being overwhelmed by
	frames from transmitting devices. One of the following values is
	displayed: Sym, AsymRx, AsymTx, Off, or NA. NA (Not Applicable)
	is displayed when the port does not support flow control. Detailed
	explanations of the other selections are in Section 5.3, under the Full
	Duplex Flow Control description.
