The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 12 Port Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port This is the port index number.
* Use this row to configure all the ports at once.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this
row first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port
basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you
make them.
Active Select this check box to enable a port. The factory default for all ports is enabled. A
port must be enabled for data transmission to occur.
Name Enter a descriptive name that identifies this port. You can enter up to 64 alpha-
numerical characters.
Note: Due to space limitation, the port name may be truncated in
some web configurator screens.
Type This field displays 10/100M for an Ethernet connection and 10/100/1000M for the
Gigabit Ethernet/ mini-GBIC ports.
Speed/Duplex Select the speed and the duplex mode of the Ethernet connection on this port.
For Ethernet ports, select Auto, 10M/Half Duplex, 10M/Full Duplex, 100M/Half
Duplex or 100M/Full Duplex.
For the Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports, select Auto, 10M/Half Duplex, 10M/Full
Duplex, 100M/Half Duplex, 100M/Full Duplex or 1000M/Full Duplex.
Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port
automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates with the peer
automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port
does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch determines the
connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode.
When the switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed
and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the
settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.
