Table 9-2External 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 details.

 

 

Group

Displays the current VSG for the port. To configure the VSG, see “Virtual Switch

 

Groups Membership” on page 97.

 

 

Name

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

 

 

Status

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

 

 

Speed

Select the proper speed setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG

 

must have the same setting.

 

 

Duplex

Select the proper duplex setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG

 

must have the same setting.

 

 

Auto Negotiation

Select the proper auto-negotiation setting for the port. All external ports in the

 

same VSG must have the same setting.

 

 

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.

 

 

ErrDisable Recov-

Enables or disables automatic recovery for the port when it becomes error-dis-

ery

abled. An error-disabled port is re-enabled by the switch only if this port setting

 

is enabled and the global ErrDisable Recovery setting is also enabled (see “ErrD-

 

isable System Settings” on page 125).

 

 

DSCP Remarking

Enable or disable DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) remarking for the port (see “Diff-

 

Serv Code Point QoS” on page 113).

 

 

Note – Some types of ports are pre-set for speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation. For these ports, settings are displayed but cannot be configured on this window.
