that the port has been added to a trunk. For information about
configuring a trunk, refer to Chapter 6, “Port Trunking” on page 77.
Type
Indicates the port type. The port type is 1000TX for 10/100/1000Base-
T twisted-pair ports and 1000X for the optional SFP fiber ports.
Link Status
Indicates the status of the link between the port and the end node
connected to the port. The possible values are:
Up - Indicates a valid link exists between the port and the end node.
Down - Indicates the port and the end node have not established a
valid link.
Admin. Status
Indicates 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. You can
enable the port to resume normal operation after the problem has
been fixed. You can also disable an unused port to secure it from
unauthorized connections. The possible values are:
Ignore—Indicates the All setting does not apply to the Admin. Status
field. In other words, each port is set individually.
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
Indicates 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:
Ignore—Indicates the All setting does not apply to the Mode field. In
other words, each port is set individually.
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.
Auto (100F) - 1000 Mbps in half-duplex mode
1000/Full - 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
100/Full - 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode
