Internal Port Settings Fields

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Port

Displays the port number. This field is non-configurable.

 

Note: If the switch is part of a multi-switch stack, the displayed number

 

indicates the Configured Switch number (csnum) followed by the port

 

number. See “Stacking Port Numbers” on page 54 for more informa-

 

tion.

 

 

Group

Displays the current VSG for the port. To configure the VSG, see “Vir-

 

tual Switch Groups Membership” on page 97.

 

 

Enable

Set the operational status of the port: enable or disable.

 

 

Name

Set the port name which appears on information and statistics displays.

 

 

Flow Control

Select the flow control setting (rx, tx, both, none).

 

 

PVID

Select the Port VLAN Identifier (PVID). If a PVID is configured, when

 

untagged traffic ingresses on the port, the configured VLAN tag will be

 

automatically added. Upon egress, if the PVID of the egress port

 

matches the packets’s tag, the tag will be stripped from the packet.

 

 

Internal Trunk ID

Configures the trunk ID for internal ports. Ports in the same VSG that

 

have the same internal trunk ID form a trunk. Specify a value between 1

 

and 56, or 0 (zero) for none.

 

Note: This field is available only when stacking is configured.

 

 

DSCP Remarking

Enable or disable DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) remarking for the port

 

(see “DiffServ Code Point QoS” on page 113).
