3.In the Configure Port field enter the port number or a range of ports. To configure a single port, enter that port number in both the To and From field.

4.Use the spacebar to toggle these fields to the appropriate value.

	Field	Description

	State	Enables or disables the currently selected ports.

		Specifies the speed and full- or half-duplex state of the ports. For 100 Mpbs
	Speed/Duplex	ports the choices are Auto, 10/Half, 10/Full, 100/Half, and 100/Full. For
		gigabit ports, the choices are Auto,1000/Full, and 100/Full.

	Flow Control	Specifies the flow control mode for the port.

		Enables or disables dynamic learning of MAC addresses. You can disable
	Learn	MAC learning to increase the security of a specific port. Such disabled ports
	Learn	only receive broadcast traffic and packets that have a destination MAC

		address that matches the port’s MAC address.

5. Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

You can upgrade the switch’s firmware by transferring a new firmware file from an TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server to the switch. You can also load a configuration file into the switch from an TFTP server or save the switch’s configuration file and a history log to an TFTP server.

The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer. TFTP server software is a part of many network management software packages, or can be obtained as a separate program.

The switch utilities also allow you to ping stations and to configure DNS relay and BOOTP/DHCP relay.

To access these utilities, from the Main Menu select Switch Utilities and press Enter.
