Parameter Definition
Name
A user-assigned name for this port (possibly a drop
name or the name of the station or other device
connected to the port).
Category
Allows you to select either User Port or Service
Port:
• The
User Port
is intended for use with switch
connections to end user nodes.
• The
Service Port
is intended for use with
switch connections to servers or other
switches. The Service Port allows the switch
to generate both log messages and alarm
messages (traps). The User Port only
generates log messages, preventing your
network management station from being
overwhelmed by port up/down messages that
result from users turning workstations on and
off.
