GE ML1200 instruction manual Port Mirroring and Setup

PORT MIRRORING AND SETUP CHAPTER 9: PORT MIRRORING AND SETUP

•Port Name assigns a specific name to the port. This name is a designated name for the port and can be a server name, user name or any other name.

•Admin Status indicates whether the port can be administered remotely.

•Link indicates the link status. In the figure above the link is down, implying either there is no connection or the system connected to the port is turned off.

•Auto-Negsets auto negotiation for 100 Mbps and Gigabit copper ports. There is no no auto negotiation for fiber ports as their speeds are fixed.

•The Port Speed sets the speed to be 10 or 100 Mbps. This settings works only with 10/100 ports; it is ignored for 10 Mbps ports.

•The Duplex setting selects full duplex or half duplex capabilities for 10/100 Mbps ports.

•The Back Pressure displays the state of the back pressure setting on the port. This value can be edited in this window.

•The Flow Control displays the state of the flow control setting on the port. This value can be edited in this window.

•Priority displays the priority set for the port. This value cannot be edited in this window.

•The VLAN ID displays the VLAN set for the port. This value cannot be edited in this window.

•The STP State displays the STP settings for the port. This value cannot be edited in this window.

•The Tagged State displays the Tag settings on the port. This value cannot be edited in this window.

•The GVRP State displays the GVRP settings on the port. This value cannot be edited in this window.

•The LLA indicates the state of the Link Loss Alert feature.

The “Auto” (default) value for the Port Speed senses the speed and negotiates with the port at the other end of the link for data transfer operation (half-duplex or full-duplex). The “Auto” value 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, the switch must be rebooted
