Sunfire B1600 manual Port Configuration, Displaying Connection Status

3.4Port Configuration

This section includes configuration menus for the down-link ports, up-link ports, and management port. Most of these menus apply to all port types. However, the management port only supports a few basic menus, and Packet Filtering (page 3- 134) is only provided for the management port.

Note – The port designations used in the following menus include NETP0 to NETP7 for up-link ports, SNP0 to SNP15 for down-link ports, and NETMGT for the management port.
