Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Fast Ethernet Ports
To configure ports on a Fast Ethernet module:
1.
In the
System Configuration
section of the Web Agent window, select
Modules
& Ports
. The Module Information dialog box opens.
2.
In the
Ports
column, click the
number
for the module you want to configure (for
example, 12 for 100Base-TX). The Physical Port Configuration dialog box opens.
3.
Click the
Enable
check box to enable a port, or if the check box is enabled, click
the Enable check box if you want to disable the port.
4.
Click
APPLY
to
save your changes, or
CANCEL
to restore previous settings.
5.
In the
Name
field, click the
port name
to set additional parameters. The Detailed
Physical Port Configuration dialog box opens.
Refer to Table 3-5 for more information on the Fast Ethernet (10/100) parameters.
6.
In the
Name
field, enter a
port name
.
7.
If this is an end-station port, from the
Category
pull-down menu, select
User
Port
. For trunk ports, select
Service Port
.
Flow Control
Mode
Determines if IEEE 802.3z pause control is used on this port.
The pause mechanism allows the port to stop a sending station
from sending more packets if the receiving port’s buffers are full.
This helps prevent lost or dropped packets.
This feature is recommended for use primarily on end station
connections. Using this feature on trunk ports can cause
unnecessary congestion on the network.
Port PACE Priority
Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted PACE format
as packets pass through the port. PACE allows a packet’s priority
(higher priority packets move through the switch faster) to be
set at the adapter.
Remote Fault
Detect
Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link errors on Cajun
gigabit ports. The default value is Disabled.
The remote fault detection functionality should be enabled (on
both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in two cases:
• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected that do not
support auto-negotiation.
• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support
auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit port that
does support auto-negotiation.
