The Device View
Figure2-16. The Ethernet Configuration Window
From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or — for
100Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX/CX interfaces — set the port to Auto Negotiate so that
the appropriate operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you set will
determine the port’s speed, duplex mode, and flow control.
The window displays the following information about the selected Ethernet port:
Port Type
Displays the port’s type: 100Base-TX RJ-45or RJ71 (for built-in Fast Ethernet ports and
the FE-100TX Fast Ethernet port module), 100Base-FX MMF SC Connector (for the
TIP
If you select the Configuration option available for a standard Ethernet or FDDI interface
or for a Fast Ethernet port on a first generation module, an entirely different window will
appear; see Configuring Standard Ethernet and FDDI Ports , page2-37, or Configuring
Fast Ethernet Ports on First Generation Modules, page 2-39, for information on
configuring these ports.
