From the web browser interface and switch console you can configure the operating state for each switch port.

The following table shows the settings available for each port type. The same parameter settings are available in both the web browser interface and the switch console.

Table 6-2. Port Settings Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

Enabled

Yes (default): The port is ready to be connected in a network.

 

No: The port will not operate, even if properly connected in a network. Use

 

this setting if the port needs to be shut down for diagnostic purposes or while

 

you are making topology changes, for example.

 

 

Mode or

For 10T ports:

Config Mode

10HDx (default): 10 Mbps, Half Duplex

 

10FDx: 10 Mbps, Full Duplex

 

For 10/100TX ports:

 

Auto (default): Auto-negotiates with the port at the other end of the link for

 

speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and data transfer operation (half-duplex or full-

 

duplex). Note: Ensure that the device attached to the port is configured for

 

the same setting that you select here. Also, if “Auto” is used the device to

 

which the port is connected must operate in compliance with the IEEE 802.3u

 

“Auto Negotiation” standard for 100Base-T networks. See the Auto

 

Negotiation Note on the next page.

 

10HDx: 10 Mbps, Half Duplex

 

100HDx: 100 Mbps, Half Duplex

 

10FDx: 10 Mbps, Full Duplex

 

100FDx: 100 Mbps, Full Duplex

Flow Control Disabled (default): No flow control is applied to inbound traffic.

Enabled: The flow control method implemented depends on whether the ports is configured to operate in full-duplex or half-duplex mode:

If Full Duplex - IEEE 802.3x Flow Control is applied.

If Half Duplex - Back pressure is applied.

See the Flow Control Note on the next page for an explanation of these methods.
