Port:

Displays the port number.

Description:

Give a description to the port for identification.

Status:

Allows you to Enable/Disable the port. When Enable is

 

selected, the port can forward the packets normally.

Speed and Duplex:

Select the Speed and Duplex mode for the port. The device

 

connected to the switch should be in the same Speed and

 

Duplex mode with the switch. When “Auto” is selected, the

 

Speed and Duplex mode will be determined by

 

auto-negotiation. For the SFP port, this switch does not support

 

auto-negotiation.

Flow Control:

Allows you to Enable/Disable the Flow Control feature. When

 

Flow Control is enabled, the switch can synchronize the speed

 

with its peer to avoid the packet loss caused by congestion.

LAG:

Displays the LAG number which the port belongs to.

Note:

1.The switch cannot be managed through the disabled port. Please enable the port which is used to manage the switch.

2.The parameters of the port members in a LAG should be set as the same.

5.1.2 Port Mirror

Port Mirror, the packets obtaining technology, functions to forward copies of packets from one/multiple ports (mirrored port) to a specific port (mirroring port). Usually, the mirroring port is connected to a data diagnose device, which is used to analyze the mirrored packets for monitoring and troubleshooting the network.
