In the Port Status Values area of this screen it is possible to view the link status, link
lost counter, duplex status, and port speed.

In the Port Control Settings area of the Port screen it is possible to set the following:

Port Enable - Enable or disable the port. Both Port Enable and Admin Status must be
enabled (enabled and up) to enable the port. This setting can be disabled from
iView

Admin Status - Enable (Up) or disable (Down) the port. Both Port Enable and Admin
Status must be enabled (enabled and up) to enable the port. This setting can be
disabled from MIB-II compatible software.

Port Speed Ctrl - Set the port for Auto Negotiation or to force one of the following
speeds:

• 10/100/1000 Mbps Half-Duplex
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Full-Duplex

Advertise Ctrl - This is the Selective Advertising feature. Selective Advertising is used
in combination with Auto Negotiation to advertise the selected speed and duplex
mode for the DATA and EXT MGMT ports. This allows advertising: all speeds and
duplex modes; 10 Mbps Half-Duplex; 10 Mbps Full-Duplex; 100 Mbps Half-Duplex;
100 Mbps Full-Duplex; 10 Mbps Half and Full-Duplex; etc. Auto Negotiation must
be enabled for Selective Advertising to work.

NOTE

If a specific speed and/or duplex mode are desired, IMC Networks recommends using
Selective Advertising, instead of Force Mode, when connecting to devices that can only
Auto Negotiate. For the FO uplink versions, the port is always force flow control 100 FDX
and cannot be changed.
