7. Set the following Ethernet port Properties:
8. Define the following Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and LLDP parameters to apply to the
Ethernet port configuration:
Description Enter a brief description for the port (64 characters maximum). The description should reflect the
port’s intended function to differentiate it from others with similar configurations.
Admin Status Select the Enabled radio button to define this port as active to the profile it supports. Select the
Disabled radio button to disable this physical port in the profile. It can be activated at any future
time when needed.
Speed Select the speed at which the port can receive and transmit the data. Select either 10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, 1000 Mbps. Select either of these options to establish a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps data
transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the port. These options
are not available if Auto is selected. Select Automatic to enable the port to automatically exchange
information about data transmission speed and duplex capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful
when in an environment where different devices are connected and disconnected on a regular
basis. Automatic is the default setting.
Duplex Select either half, full or automatic as the duplex option. Select Half duplex to send data over the
port, then immediately receive data from the same direction in which the data was transmitted.
Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry data in both directions, just
not at the same time. Select Full duplex to transmit data to and from the port at the same time.
Using full duplex, the port can send data while receiving data as well. Select Automatic to enable to
the access point to dynamically duplex as port performance needs dictate. Automatic is the default
setting.
Cisco Discover Protocol
Receive Select this option to allow the Cisco discovery protocol for receiving data on this port. If enabled,
the port sends out periodic interface updates to a multicast address to advertise its presence to
neighbors. This option is enabled by default.
Cisco Discover Protocol
Transmit Select this option to allow the Cisco discovery protocol for transmitting data on this port. If enabled,
the port sends out periodic interface updates to a multicast address to advertise its presence to
neighbors. This option is enabled by default.
Link Layer Discovery
Protocol Receive Select this option to snoop LLDP on this port. If enabled, the port sends out periodic interface
updates to a multicast address to advertise its presence to neighbors. This option is enabled by
default.
Link Layer Discovery
Protocol Transmit Select this option to transmit LLDP PDUs on this port. If enabled, the port sends out periodic
interface updates to a multicast address to advertise its presence to neighbors.
