Configuring Ports
Known Mode Enable or disable known mode. The default value is
Disable.
If known mode is enabled, unicast frames that have an
unknown destination address are not flooded out this port.
If known mode is disabled, unicast frames that have an
unknown destination address are flooded out the port.
For example, if a known end-station or file server is
connected to the port, flooding unknown unicasts out the
port is not necessary.
3Com Mapping
Table Select how incoming tagged frames from 3Com
equipment are mapped to Avaya VLANs. The default
value is 3ComDefault.
Mirror Port Displays the status of the mirror port (enabled or
disabled). This is a Fast Ethernet only option.
Admin Point to
Point Link Specify whether this port is connected to a shared LAN
segment or a point-to-point LAN segment. A point-to-
point LAN segment is connected to exactly one other
bridge (normally with a direct cable between them). Only
point-to-point links and edge ports can rapidly transition
to forwarding state.
If you set this field to Auto, the switch automatically
detects whether the port is connected to a shared link or a
point-to-point link. Ports operating in half duplex are set
to False, and ports operating in full duplex are set to
True. You can, however, manually set the type of link.
Options are:
• ForceTrue—Defines the port as connected to a
point-to-point link.
• ForceFalse—Defines the port as connected to a
shared LAN segment.
• Auto—Automatically detects whether the port is
connected to a shared link or a point-to-point link. If
you select this setting, the Oper Point to Point
Link field displays the link type that is detected.

Chapter 7 , “ Configuring Rapid Spanning Tree .”
Oper Point to Point
Link If Admin Point to Point Link is set to Auto, this field
displays the link type that is detected.
