Configuring Interface Connections

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 Usage
Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force the interface
to use the Speed/Duplex Mode or Flow Control options.
When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated between the
link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set the speed, duplex mode,
or flow control under auto-negotiation, the required operation modes must be
specified in the capabilities list for an interface.
The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation
should always be used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or
trunk. If not used, the success of the link process cannot be guaranteed when
connecting to other types of switches.
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
