Dell 3548 Switch User Manual


 
Configuring Switch Information 341
Fast Link Operational Status
— Indicates if Fast Link is enabled or disabled for the port or LAG.
If Fast Link is enabled for an interface, the interface is automatically placed in the forwarding state.
The possible field values are:
Enable
— Fast Link is enabled.
Disable
— Fast Link is disabled.
Auto
— Fast Link mode is enabled a few seconds after the interface becomes active.
Point-to-Point Admin Status
— Indicates if a point-to-point links is established, or permits the device
to establish a point-to-point link. The possible field values are:
Enable
— Enables the device to establish a point-to-point link, or specifies for the device to
automatically establish a point-to-point link. To establish communications over a point-to-point
link, the originating PPP first sends Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to configure and test the
data link. After a link is established and optional facilities are negotiated as needed by the LCP,
the originating PPP sends
Network Control Protocols (NCP) packets to select and configure one
or more network layer protocols. When each of the chosen network layer protocols has been
configured, packets from each network layer protocol can be sent over the link. The link remains
configured for communications until explicit LCP or NCP packets close the link, or until some
external event occurs. This is the actual switch port link type. It may differ from the administrative
state.
Disable
— Disables point-to-point link.
Auto
— The device automatically establishes a point-to-point link.
Point-to-Point Operational Status

Activate Protocol Migrational
— Enables PPP sending Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to
