Viewing the ports runtime status

The Runtime tab displays read-only runtime configuration for uplink and downlink ports.

To view the runtime configuration details of the uplink and downlink ports:

Duplex

Modify the duplex status by selecting one of the following options:

Half

Full

Auto

Channel Group

Optionally, set the Channel Group defined for the port. The switch bundles
individual Ethernet links (over the selected channel) into a single logical link that
provides bandwidth between the switch and another switch or host. The port
speed used is dependant on the Duplex value selected (full, half or auto). If a
segment within a channel fails, traffic previously carried over the failed link is
routed to the remaining segments within the channel. A trap is sent upon a failure
identifying the switch, channel and failed link.

Description

Enter a brief description for the port. The description should reflect the port’s
intended function to differentiate it from others with similar configurations.

Admin Status

Either Enable (activate) or Disable (shutdown) the admin status of the port.

Medium

Displays the current (read-only) connection medium used by this port.
