Figure 2-15. The Fast Ethernet Port Configuration Window

NOTE

Auto-Negotiation is not supported by the FE-100FX Fast Ethernet port interface module. If you launch the window for a port module slot which has no FE module installed, the Port Type will display as Unknown, the Link State will display No Link, and the rest of the fields will be blank and/or grayed out.

If you select the Configuration option available for a standard Ethernet or FDDI interface

TIP or for an Ethernet port on a second generation module, an entirely different window will appear; see Configuring Standard Ethernet and FDDI Ports, page 2-37, or Configuring Ethernet Ports on Second Generation Modules, page 2-44, for information on configuring these ports.

From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or — for 100Base-TX interfaces — set the port to Auto-Negotiation so that the appropriate operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you set will determine the speed of the port and whether it uses Full Duplex or Standard Mode bridging.
