4.5 Port Troubleshooting Help
Here are some situations that frequently occurs in port configuration and the advised
solutions:
&
Two connected fiber interfaces won’t link up if one interface is set to
auto-negotiation but the other to forced speed/duplex. This is determined by
IEEE 802.3.
&
The following combinations are not recommended: enabling traffic control as
well as setting multicast limiting for the same port; setting broadcast, multicast
and unknown destination unicast control as well as port bandwidth limiting for
the same port. If such combinations are set, the port throughput may fall below
the expected performance.
4.6 Web Management
Click “Port configuration” to open the port configuration management table. Users can
proceed to do port management, setup port speed, duplexes and so on.
4.6.1 Ethernet port configuration
Click “Port configuration”, “Ethernet port configuration” to open the Ethernet port
configuration management table to configure Ethernet port duplex, speed, bandwidth
control and so on.
4.6.2 Physical port configuration
Click “port configuration”, “Ethernet port configuration”, “Physical port configuration” to
configure the following information:
z
Port: Specifies the configuration port
z
MDI: Sets up the connection type of the Ethernet port. Auto means to auto-negotiate
connection type; across means the port supporting cross-over cable only; normal
means the port supporting straight-through cable only.
z
Admin Status: Enables/Disables port.
z
speed/duplex status: Sets up Ethernet sport speed and duplex including,
auto-negotiation, 10Mbps Half, 10Mbps Full, 100Mbps Half, 100Mbps Full,
1000Mbps Half, 1000Mbps Full.
z
Port flow control status: Sets up port flow control including disabled flow control and
