Installing the GL Modules
Customizing the Port Configuration
If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch
was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the
module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for
most networks.
The default port configurations for the modules are:
■
Ports Enabled:
Yes
■
Mode:
•
10/100-TX GL Module:
Auto
— The port auto negotiates speed (10
or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and MDI or
MDI-X port operation.
Note:
if you configure the port to one of the
fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an MDI-X
port.
•
100/1000-T GL Module:
Auto
— The port auto negotiates speed
(1000 or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and
MDI or MDI-X port operation.
Note:
if you configure the port to one
of the fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an
MDI-X port.
•
Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX ports in Gigabit Transceiver GL
Module and mini-GBIC GL Module:
Auto
— The ports always
operate at 1000 Mbps and full duplex. The setting is Auto for best link
establishment with other devices.
•
Gigabit-LH ports in the mini-GBIC GL Module:
Auto
— The port
always operates at 1000 Mbps and full duplex. The setting is Auto for
best link establishment with other devices.
•
100-FX MTRJ GL Module:
100FDX
— The port operates at 100 Mbps
and full-duplex communication mode.
■
Flow Control:
Disabled
■
Advanced Features:
Spanning Tree, Trunking, VLANs, Security, etc.: all
Disabled
If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console
or the web browser interface. For more information, see the
Management and
Configuration Guide
shipped on the documentation CD that came with the
switch, and the online Help provided in the console and web browser inter
faces.
If the default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network,
then skip this process.
