Edit Port Configuration
You can use Port Configuration to enable/disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities
to advertise, or manually force the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.
This screen allows you to edit the following information for each port on the switch.
Name. Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)
Admin. Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g.,
excessive collisions), and then enable it again, once the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an
interface for security reasons.
Speed Duplex. Allows you to manually set the port speed and duplex mode. (i.e., with auto-negotiation disabled)
Flow Control. Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control.
Auto-negotiation (Port Capabilities). Allows auto-negotiation to be enabled/disabled. When auto-negotiation is
enabled, you need to specify the capabilities to be advertised. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you can force
the settings for speed, mode, and flow control.The following capabilities are supported.
• 10half - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation
• 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation
• 100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
