PORT MIRRORING AND SETUP CHAPTER 9: PORT MIRRORING AND SETUP

In Example 9-1,ports 3 and 4 are given specific names. Ports 1 and 5 are active, as shown by the link status. Port 5 is set to 100 Mbps, and all other ports are set to 10 Mbps. All ports are set to auto sensing (speed).

The port speed and duplex (data transfer operation) settings are summarized below.

The speed setting defaults to auto and senses speed and negotiates with the port at the other end of the link for data transfer operation (half-duplex or full-duplex). The “auto” speed detection uses the IEEE 802.3u auto negotiation standard for 100Base-T networks. If the other device does not comply with the 802.3u standard, then the port configuration on the switch must be manually set to match the port configuration on the other device.

Possible port setting combinations for copper ports are:

•10HDx: 10 Mbps, half-duplex

•10FDx: 10 Mbps, full-duplex

•100HDx: 100 Mbps, half-duplex

•100FDx: 100 Mbps, full-duplex

Possible port settings for 100FX (fiber) ports are:

•100FDx (default): 100 Mbps, full-duplex

•100HDx: 100 Mbps, half-duplex

To change the port speed on a transceiver port, it is required to reboot the switch.
