Description:
Give a port description for identification.
Status:
With this option enabled, the port forwards packets normally.
Otherwise, the port discards all the received packets. By
default, it is enabled.
Speed:
Select the appropriate speed mode for the port. When
Auto
is selected, the port autonegotiates speed mode with the
connected device. The default setting is
Auto
. This value is
recommended if both ends of the line support
autonegotiation.
Duplex:
Select the appropriate duplex mode for the port. There are
three options:
Half
,
Full
and
Auto
. When Auto is selected, the
port autonegotiates duplex mode with the connected device.
The default setting is Auto.
Flow Control:
With this option enabled, the switch synchronizes the data
transmission speed with the peer device, thus avoiding the
packet loss caused by congestion. By default, it is disabled.
Jumbo
With this option properly configured, the port can send jumbo
frames. The default MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size
for frames received and sent on all ports is 1518 bytes. You
can specify the MTU size up to 13312 bytes, thus allowing the
port to send jumbo frames.
LAG:
Displays the LAG which the port belongs to.
Note:
1.
The switch cannot be managed through the disabled port. Please enable the port which is
used to manage the switch.
2.
The parameters of the port members in a LAG should be set as the same.
3.
We recommend that you set the ports on both ends of a link as the same speed and
duplex mode.

Port Mirror
This function allows the switch to forward packet copies of the monitored ports to a specific
monitoring port. Then you can analyze the copied packets to monitor network traffic and
troubleshoot network problems.
