2. Adjust the port settings as needed. Not all parameters are adjustable.
The parameters are defined here:
Port Index
The port number. You cannot change this parameter.
Trunk
The trunk group number. A number in this column indicates that the
port has been added to a trunk. For information about configuring a
trunk, refer to Chapter 23, “Port Trunking” on page 251.
Type
The port type. The port type is 1000TX for 10/100/1000Base-T twisted-
pair ports and 1000BaseF for an optional SFP fiber port.
Link Status
The status of the link between the port and the end node connected to
the port. The possible values are:
Up - A valid link exists between the port and the end node.
Down - The port and the end node have not established a valid link.
Admin. Status
The operating status of the port.
You can use this parameter to enable or disable a port. You may want
to disable a port and prevent packets from being forwarded if a
problem occurs with the node or cable connected to the port. After the
problem has been fixed, you can enable the port to resume normal
operation. You can also disable an unused port to secure it from
unauthorized connections. The possible values are:
Enabled - The port is able to send and receive Ethernet frames. This is
the default setting for a port.
Disabled - The port is disabled.
Mode
The speed and duplex mode settings for the port.
You can use this parameter to set the speed and duplex mode of a
port. Possible settings are:
Auto - The port is using Auto-Negotiation to set the operating speed
and duplex mode. This is the default setting for all ports. The actual
operating speed and duplex mode of the port are displayed in
parentheses (for example, “1000F” for 1000 Mbps full duplex mode)
after a port establishes a link with an end node.
10M/Half - 10 Mbps in half-duplex mode
10M/Full - 10 Mbps in full-duplex mode
