Configuring Interface Connections

3 Configuring the Switch

•Max MAC count – Shows the maximum number of MAC address that can be learned by a port. (0 - 1024 addresses)

•Port security action – Shows the response to take when a security violation is detected. (shutdown, trap, trap-and-shutdown, or none)

Current Status:

•Link Status – Indicates if the link is up or down.

•Port Operation Status – Provides detailed information on port state. (Displayed only when the link is up.)

•Operation speed-duplex– Shows the current speed and duplex mode.

•Flow control type – Indicates the type of flow control currently in use. (IEEE 802.3x, Back-Pressure or none)

CLI – This example shows the connection status for Port 5.

You can use the Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration page to enable/disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to advertise, or manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

Command Attributes

•Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)

•Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then reenable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an interface for security reasons.

•Speed/Duplex – Allows you to manually set the port speed and duplex mode. (i.e., with auto-negotiation disabled)
