Setting the Interface Speed and Duplex Mode
Both the connected L2/L3 and Network VirusWall Enforcer devices should have the
same port speed and duplex mode. Otherwise, the Network VirusWall Enforcer port
will operate in half-duplex mode. To simplify configuration, you can set Network
VirusWall Enforcer to auto-select the optimum port speed and duplex mode. However,
manual selection of the correct port speed and duplex mode can help ensure optimal
network performance. Use the Preconfiguration console to configure the interface
speed and duplex mode.
To set the interface speed and duplex mode:
1.
On the Interface Settings screen, type
1
to open the
Interface speed & duplex
mode setting
screen, which displays the current interface speeds and duplex
settings of all ports.
2.
Select a port by using the up and down arrows.
3.
Select the speed, using the SPACEBAR to scroll through the speed and duplex
mode options. For more information on the supported speed and duplex modes,
see
4.
After configuring all port speeds and duplex modes, select
Return to the previous
menu
to go back to the
Interface Settings
screen.
