Figure 5.3.8.1 Port settings
The following port parameters can be set:
1.
State
– Port status. The port can be forced to switch off, if it is not used. In this
case, the port will not transfer data and the port link will not come up.
2.
Speed/Duplex
– Speed/Duplex. By default, the auto negotiation mode is set
which automatically adjusts the speed and duplex mode. Speed and duplex can
be set manually, however in this case it is important to make sure that the
remote side will accept such settings. For Gigabit Ethernet ports, control of
port status and speed is not available.
3.
Flow Control
– control of data flow (IEEE 802.3x)
4.
PoE
– Power over Ethernet. For some switch models, it is possible to manage
PoE only using option A (protocol PoE). To manage PoE using option B
(Passive PoE), it is necessary to move the corresponding jumpers on the board.
To configure PoE using jumpers, see Operating Manual, Section 2.7,
Configuration and control elements.
5.
SFP Link Mode
– the operating mode of SFP (optical) port link.
Forced
– forcing the link to come up when an optical signal is detected
(Default mode)
Auto
– automatic mode, recommended when connecting to third-party
equipment
