Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Fast Ethernet Ports

To configure ports on a Fast Ethernet module:

window, select

Modules & Ports. The Module Information

dialog box opens.

2. In the Ports column, click the number for the module you want

to configure (for example,

10 for 100BASE-FX). The Physical

Port Configuration dialog box opens.

3. Click the Enable check box to enable a port, or if the check box

is enabled, click the Enable check box if you want to disable the
port.

4. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore

previous settings.

5. In the Name field, click the port name to set additional

parameters. The Detailed Physical Port Configuration dialog box
opens.

Refer to Table 10 for more information on the Fast Ethernet (10/
100) parameters.

6. In the Name field, enter a port name.

Port PACE
Priority

Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted
PACE format as packets pass through the port.
PACE allows a packet’s priority (higher priority
packets move through the switch faster) to be set
at the adapter.

Remote
Fault Detect

Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link
errors on Cajun gigabit ports. The default is
Disabled.

The remote fault detection functionality should be
enabled (on both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in
two cases:

• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected

that do not support auto-negotiation.

• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support

auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit
port that does support auto-negotiation.
