To configure switch ports:
1. Choose the port or sequential range of ports using the From Port and To Port drop-down menus.
2. Use the remaining drop-down menus to configure the parameters described below:
The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter Description
Unit Select the unit you wish to configure.
From Port / To Port Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here.
State
Toggle the State field to either enable or disable a given port or group of ports.
Speed/Duplex Use the drop-down menu to select the speed in Auto , 10M Half , 10M Full , 100M Half ,
100M Full , 1000M Full_Master and 1000M Full_Slave . Auto denotes auto-negotiation
among 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps devices, in full- or half-duplex (except 1000 Mbps which
is always full duplex). The
Auto setting allows the port to automatically determine the
fastest settings the device the port is connected to can handle, and then to use those
settings. The other options are
10M Half , 10M Full, 100M Half , 100M Full , 1000M
Full_Master , 1000M Full_Slave, and 1000M Full . There is no automatic adjustment of
port settings with any option other than Auto .
The Switch allows the user to configure two types of gigabit connections; 1000M
Full_Master , and 1000M Full_Slave which refer to connections running a 1000BASE-T
cable for connection between the Switch port and other device capable of a gigabit
connection. The master
setting ( 1000M Full_Master) will allow the port to advertise
capabilities related to duplex, speed and physical layer type. The master setting will also
determine the master and slave relationship between the two connected physical layers.
This relationship is necessary for establishing the timing control between the two
