Update Basic Port Settings
The basic port settings determine how data is received and sent between the
switch and the attached device. You can change these settings to fit your network
needs and to troubleshoot network problems. The settings on a switch port should
be compatible with the port settings of the connected device.
Use the Port Settings window (
Figure 3-4
) to change basic port settings. To
display this window, choose Configure > Port Settings from the device manager
menu. See the device manager online help for additional guidelines and
procedures.

Critical
This server type typically provides the organization with more critical traffic than a
business server and therefore has higher priority than business-type servers. An example
of a critical server is a server for business transactions.
Trusted
This server type is for use with a voice-over-IP server. All traffic from this server type
receives voice-quality priority as well as the same priority given to critical-type servers.
An example of a trusted server is Cisco CallManager.
