External Port Settings
Use this window to configure external port settings.
Note – Some types of ports are pre-set for speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation. For these
ports, settings are displayed but cannot be configured on this window.
Table 9-2 External Port Settings Fields
Field Description
Port Displays the port number. This field is non-configurable.
Note: If the switch is part of a multi-switch stack, the displayed number indicates
the Configured Switch number (
csnum) followed by the port number. See
“Stacking Port Numbers” on page 54 for details.
Group Displays the current VSG for the port. To configure the VSG, see “Virtual Switch
Groups Membership” on page 97.
Name Set the port name which appears on information and statistics displays.
Status Set the operational status of the port: enable or disable.
Speed Select the proper speed setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG
must have the same setting.
Duplex Select the proper duplex setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG
must have the same setting.
Auto Negotiation Select the proper auto-negotiation setting for the port. All external ports in the
same VSG must have the same setting.
Flow Control Select the flow control setting (rx, tx, both, none).
PVID Select the Port VLAN Identifier (PVID). If a PVID is configured, when untagged
traffic ingresses on the port, the configured VLAN tag will be automatically
added. Upon egress, if the PVID of the egress port matches the packets’s tag, the
tag will be stripped from the packet.
ErrDisable Recov-
ery
Enables or disables automatic recovery for the port when it becomes error-dis-
abled. An error-disabled port is re-enabled by the switch only if this port setting
is enabled and the global ErrDisable Recovery setting is also enabled (see “ErrD-
isable System Settings” on page 125).
DSCP Remarking Enable or disable DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) remarking for the port (see “Diff-
Serv Code Point QoS” on page 113).
