Link Status

This field displays the link status of the port. Up, if the port is enabled and active or

 

Down, if the port is disabled or not connected to any device.

 

 

Speed Duplex

This field displays the speed either 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps and the duplex

 

mode Full or Half.

 

 

Flow Control

Enables access to buffering resources for the port thus ensuring lossless operation

 

across network switches. This field displays either Enabled or Disabled.

 

 

PVID

The PVID field specifies what tag the incoming untagged frames receive on that port

 

so that the frames are forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag defines.

Table 9 Port Configuration

DESCRIPTION

Port

This is the port index number.

 

 

Admin

Select Enable to activate the port or Disable to deactivate the port.

 

 

Auto Negotiate

Select Enable and the port will negotiate the speed, duplex mode and flow control

 

settings with the peer port. If the peer port does not support auto-negotiation or turns

 

off this feature, the switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on

 

the cable and using half duplex mode.

 

Select Disable to configure the port settings manually. When the switch’s auto-

 

negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when

 

making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer

 

port are the same in order to connect.

 

 

Speed Duplex

Select the speed and the duplex mode of the Ethernet connection on this port.

 

Choices are 10Mbps Half, 10Mbps Full, 100Mbps Half, 100Mbps Full and

 

1000Mbps Full (for Gigabit ports only).
