•
Admin Speed
— The configured rate for the port. The port type determines what speed
setting options are available. You can designate admin speed only when the port auto-
negotiation
is disabled.
•
Current Port Speed —
Displays the current port speed.
•
Admin Duplex
—
Defines the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when auto
negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. This field cannot be
configured on LAGs. The possible field values are:
–
Full
— Indicates that the interface supports transmission between the device and the
client in both directions simultaneously.
–
Half
— Indicates that the interface supports transmission between the device and the
client in only one direction at a time.
•
Current Duplex Mode —
Displays the port current duplex mode.
•
Auto Negotiation
— Enables Auto Negotiation on the port. Auto Negotiation is a protocol
between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode
and flow control abilities to its partner.
•
Current Auto Negotiation
— Displays the Auto Negotiation status on the port.
•
Admin Advertisement
— Specifies the capabilities to be advertised by the Port. The possible
field values are:
–
Max Capability
— Indicates that all port speeds and Duplex mode settings can be
accepted.
–
10 Half
— Indicates that the port is advertising a 10 mbps speed and half Duplex mode
setting.
–
10 Full
— Indicates that the port is advertising a 10 mbps speed and full Duplex mode
setting.
–
100 Half
— Indicates that the port is advertising a 100 mbps speed and half Duplex
mode setting.
–
100 Full
— Indicates that the port is advertising a 100 mbps speed and full Duplex
mode setting.
•
1000 Full
— Indicates that the port is advertising a 1000 mbps speed and full Duplex mode
setting.
•
Current Advertisement
— The port advertises its capabilities to its neighbor port to start the
negotiation process. The possible field values are those specified in the Admin
Advertisement field.
•
Neighbor Advertisement
— The neighbor port (the port to which the selected interface is
connected) advertises its capabilities to the port to start the negotiation process. The possible
values are those specified in the Admin Advertisement field.
