Configuring Ports
8. In the Name field, enter a port name, or you can use the default name.
9. In the Category field, select one of the following options:
—
User Port if you want the switch to generate only log messages
for the port. This setting prevents the switch from generating
alarm messages (SNMP traps) for the port.
—
Service Port (default setting) if you want the switch to generate
both log messages and alarm messages (SNMP traps) for the
port.
10. In the Flow Control Mode field, select one of the following options:
Enable – Sets the port to both send and receive pause signals. This
setting prevents buffer overflows on both local and remote port.
Disable – Sets the port to neither send or receive pause signals. Use this
setting when flow control is causing congestion in other areas of the
network.
Enable (Send Only) – Sets the port to only send pause signals. This
setting prevents buffer overflows on the local port, but not on the remote
port.
Enable (Receive Only) – Sets the port to only receive and respond to
pause signals. This setting prevents buffer overflows on the remote port,
but not on the local port.
