Ethernet Interface Configuration Screen
6-6 Port Configuration Menu Screens
Link
(Read-Only)
See whether or not there is a physical connection from the port to
another device. One of the following values is displayed:
Link – There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection to
another device.
No Link – There is no link signal present and there is no valid physical
connection to another device.
Speed
(Read-Only)
See the current operational speed in Mbps (10, 100 or 1000). If the port
has not completed its auto-negotiation, “NA” displays.
Duplex
(Read-Only)
See the current duplex setting as follows:
Half – the port is operating in half duplex mode.
Full – the port is operating in full duplex mode.
NA – the port has not completed its auto-negotiation.
Config
(Read-Only)
See whether Auto-Negotiation (AutoNeg) or Manual is enabled. In
normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX interface is capable of
auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is
required.
NOTE: In normal operation, the front panel ports of the
switch module automatically establish a link with the device at
the other end of the segment without requiring user setup.
However, Local Management provides the user with the
option of manually configuring that port.
FDX FC
(Read-Only)
See the current full duplex flow control setting. Flow control is used to
manage the transmission between two devices as specified by
IEEE 802.3x to prevent receiving ports from being congested by
frames from transmitting devices. One of the following values is
displayed: Sym, AsymRx, AsymTx, Off, or NA. NA (Not Applicable)
is displayed when the port does not support flow control. Detailed
explanations of the other selections are in Section 6.3, under the Full
Duplex Flow Control definition.
