apply to all physical ports on the system.

Port Type For most ports this field is blank. Otherwise the possible values are:
• MON: Indicates that the port is a monitoring port. For more information
about port monitoring see Chapter 7, “Monitoring the System”.
• LAG: Indicates that the port is a member of a Link Aggregation trunk.
For more information see “LAG Membership” on page 3-6.

be one of the following:
• Enable: The port can participate in the network (default).
• Disable: The port is administratively down and does not participate in
the network.

Auto, the duplex mode and speed will be set by the auto-negotiation

Mbps) will be advertised. Otherwise, your selection will determine the
port’s duplex mode and transmission rate. The factory default is Auto.
