Configuring Ports Parameters
Configure data in the following columns of the Configure Ports dialog box:
■ Port #—You cannot change this field. This column identifies the port number.
The port numbers range from 0 through 23 for the Edge Switch 2/24 and 0
through 31 for the Edge Switch 2/32.
■ Name—Enter a name of up to 8 characters for the port. The port names
display in the Port Properties dialog box, and elsewhere in the Element
Manager, to identify the port.
Note: To identify port numbers for which you want to provide names, place the mouse
pointer over the ports in the
Hardware View
. As you move over a port, a label displays
that identifies the slot number where the port is installed.
■ 10-100 km—(Edge Switch 2/32 only.) Placing a check mark in the check
boxes in this column enables extended distance buffering for a port. Extended
distance operation of up to 100 kilometers (through repeaters) can be enabled.
■ Blocked—Placing a check mark in the check boxes in this column blocks the
operation of the port.
