Configuring Port Operation | Enterasys Networks VH-8G specification

Configuring Port Operation

You can configure switch ports for operational parameters such as auto- negotiation, duplex mode, and flow control. The 1000Base-SX fiber ports always operate at 1000Mbps speed. Therefore, this parameter is not configurable.

To configure port operation, do the following:

1.Select Device Control Menu from the Main Menu.

2.Select Port Configuration and press [Enter].

3.Select the port number to configure.

4.In the Admin column, select ENABLED. You can also disable the port due to abnormal behavior or for security reasons.

5.In the Flow Control column, select ENABLED to enable flow control or DISABLED to disable it. When enabled, the switch uses back pressure for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. These flow control methods can also be set directly by selecting BACK_PRESSURE or 802.3X.

6.In the Speed and Duplex column, select AUTO to enable Auto- negotiation for the port, or select 1000_FULL or 1000_HALF.

If Auto-negotiation is not enabled, the duplex mode needs to be configured.
