Two Categories of Port Parameters
The system has two categories of port settings:
■ Physical port parameters — Allows you to set up rules
that guide the system’s physical layer interaction (for
example, enable/disable, speed, auto-negotiation).
■ Switch port parameters — Allows you to specify how the
port participates in switching (for example, VLAN mode,
trunking).
The following sections explain some of the Avaya P550R/P580/
P880/P882 Multiservice switch features and how to configure the
ports.
