Label
Description
Port
This is the logical port number for this row.
Description
The description of the port. It is an ASCII string no longer than 256
characters.
Link
The current link state is displayed graphically. Green indicates the link is
up and red that it is down.
Current Link Speed
Provides the current link speed of the port.
Configured Link Speed
Selects any available link speed for the given switch port. Only speeds
supported by the specific port are shown. Possible speeds are:
Disabled - Disables the switch port operation. Auto - Port auto
negotiating speed with the link partner and selects the highest speed
that is compatible with the link partner.
10Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps half duplex mode.
10Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps full duplex mode.
100Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps half duplex mode.
100Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps full duplex mode.
1Gbps FDX - Forces the port in 1Gbps full duplex 2.5Gbps FDX - Forces
the Serdes port in 2.5Gbps full duplex mode.
SFP_Auto_AMS - Automatically determines the speed of the SFP. Note:
There is no standardized way to do SFP auto detect, so here it is done by
reading the SFP rom. Due to the missing standardized way of doing SFP
auto detect some SFPs might not be detectable. The port is set in AMS
mode. Cu port is set in Auto mode.
100-FX - SFP port in 100-FX speed. Cu port disabled.
1000-X - SFP port in 1000-X speed. Cu port disabled. Ports in AMS mode
with 1000-X speed have Cu port preferred.
Ports in AMS mode with 1000-X speed have fiber port preferred.
Ports in AMS mode with 100-FX speed have fiber port preferred.
Advertise Duplex
When duplex is set as auto i.e auto negotiation, the port will only advertise
the specified duplex as either Fdx or Hdxto the link partner. By default port
will advertise all the supported duplexes if the Duplex is Auto.
