Physical Port

See the number of the physical port on the interface.
Default Speed
(Selectable)
See the current operational speed in Mbps. Display options are 10, 100,
and 1000. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled for the port, then the port
defaults to operate in the setting displayed. To select a Default Speed,
refer to Section 5.3.1.
Default Duplex
(Toggle)
Choose the Default Duplex mode: Half, for half duplex, or Full, for
full duplex. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled for the port, then the port
defaults to operate in the setting displayed. To choose the Default
Duplex, refer to Section 5.3.1.
Auto-Negotiation
State
(Toggle)
Determine whether Auto-Negotiation is Enabled or Disabled for the
specific port. During auto-negotiation, the port “tells” the device at the
other end of the segment what its capabilities are. If Auto-Negotiation
is disabled, the port reverts to the speed, duplex and flow control
settings specified by Default Speed, Default Duplex, Half Duplex Flow
Control and Full Duplex Flow Control fields respectively. To choose
the Auto-Negotiation State, refer to Section 5.3.1.
