The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports on First Generation Devices
The SmartSwitch 2000 has two front panel slots (Ports 25 and 26) for Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules: the FE100-TX and FE100-FX. If you have any Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules installed in the front panel slots of your Þrst generation
SmartSwitch 2000 device, the Fast Ethernet ConÞguration window available for
those ports allows you to both view and set that portÕs available modes. All
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports can be conÞgured to operate in either standard
Ethernet (10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) mode, and in each mode can be
conÞgured to operate in Full Duplex, effectively doubling the available wire
speed (from 10 to 20 Mbps in standard Ethernet mode, or from 100 to 200 Mbps in
Fast Ethernet mode); 100Base-FX (Þber) ports can be conÞgured to operate in their
standard 100 Mbps mode, or in full duplex mode. This window also displays the
mode currently in effect on the selected interface, and provides some information
(where it is available) about the interfaceÕs link partner.
To access the Fast Ethernet ConÞguration Window:
1. From the Chassis View, click to select the Fast Ethernet port you wish to
configure; the Port Menu will display.
2. Click on Configuration. The Fast Ethernet Configuration window,
Figure 2-15, will appear.
