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 can not 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.
3. For TL-SL3428, when using the SFP port with a 100M module or a gigabit module, you need
to configure its corresponding Speed and Duplex mode. For 100M module, please select
100MFD while select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode
of SFP port is 1000MFD.
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.
