Parameter Definition
Name A name for this port. For example, you could enter a drop
connection name or the name of the station or other device
that is connected to the port.
Category • The User Port option is intended for connections to end-
user nodes.
If you select this option, the switch generates only log
messages for the port. It does not generate alarm
messages (SNMP traps). This setting prevents the
network management station (trap receiver) from being
overwhelmed by port status messages that result from
users turning workstations on and off.
If you want to prevent the switch from generating SNMP
trap messages for the 10-Gigabit port, select this option.
• The Service Port option is intended for connections to
servers or other switches. Since the 10-Gigabit module is
connected only to other switches, this option is the default
setting.
If you select this option, the switch generates both log
messages and alarm messages (SNMP traps) for the 10-
Gigabit port.
