3. Configure the following parameter(s) as required:
Parameter
Description
Port
Synopsis:
1/1 to 8/2
Default:
1/1
The port number as seen on the front plate silkscreen of the switch.
Name
Synopsis:
Any 15 characters
Default:
Port x
A descriptive name that may be used to identify the device connected on that port.
Media
Synopsis:
{ 100TX, 10FL, 100FX, 1000X, 1000T, 802.11g, EoVDSL, 100TX Only,
10FL/100SX, 10GX }
Default:
100TX
The type of the port media.
State
Synopsis:
{ Disabled, Enabled }
Default:
Enabled
Disabling a port will prevent all frames from being sent and received on that port. Also,
when disabled link integrity signal is not sent so that the link/activity LED will never be
lit. You may want to disable a port for troubleshooting or to secure it from unauthorized
connections.
AutoN
Synopsis:
{ Off, On }
Default:
On
Enable or disable IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation. Enabling auto-negotiation results in
speed and duplex being negotiated upon link detection; both end devices must be auto-
negotiation compliant for the best possible results. 10Mbps and 100Mbps fiber optic
media do not support auto-negotiation so these media must be explicitly configured to
either half or full duplex. Full duplex operation requires that both ends are configured as
such or else severe frame loss will occur during heavy network traffic.
Speed
Synopsis:
{ Auto, 10M, 100M, 1G }
Default:
Auto
