Port Settings
Port SettingsFrom 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.
TableParameter | 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): |
| speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and data transfer operation |
| 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 |
| 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
•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.
