Using the Web Console

Serial Port Settings

The Serial Port Settings screen allows the configuration of the switch's serial port, which is on the front panel. Terminals must match these settings to connect to the switch.

1.In the left panel, click Serial Port Settings.

2.Configure these fields.

	Field	Description

		Sets the serial bit rate that will be used for communication the next time the
	Baud Rate	switch is restarted. This setting applies only when the serial port is being
	Baud Rate	used for out-of-band management. Available speeds are 9600, 19,200,

		38,400, and 115,200 bits per second. The default setting is 9600.

	Auto-Logout	Sets the time the interface can be idle before the switch automatically logs
	Auto-Logout	out the user. The options are Never, 2, 5, 10, or 15 minutes.

Values for data bits (the number of bits used to represent one character of data) and stop bits (the number of bits used to mark the end of a unit of transmission) are displayed but are not configurable.

Note: Auto logout is not configurable for the Telnet and Web Console. The switch automatically logs the user out of these interfaces when the session has been idle for 15 minutes.

3.Click Apply.

Port Configurations

You can enable or disable a specific port and set its speed and duplex state.

1.In the left panel, click Port Configurations.

2.Use the drop-down menu to select the port you want to configure.

The Port Type and Connection fields will display the port’s current information.

3.Configure these fields.

	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, or 100/Full. For
		gigabit ports, the choices are Auto,1000/Full, or 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 ports only
	Learn	receive broadcast traffic and packets that have a destination MAC address

		that matches the port’s MAC address.

	Configure Ports from to	Allows you to apply the configuration to multiple ports.

4. Click Apply.
