Parameter Definition
Description (Name) Assigns a name to a port. A name can
have up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Spaces are allowed, but not special
characters, such as asterisks or
exclamation points. (You cannot assign a
name when configuring more than one
port.)
Status Enable or disables a port. A disabled port
does not accept or forward frames. You
might disable a port if a problem occurs
with the end node or cable. After the
problem is fixed, you can enable the port
again to resume normal operation. You
might also disable an unused port to
secure it from unauthorized connections.
The possible settings are:
Enabled - The port forwards ingress and
egress packets. This is the default setting.
Disabled - The port does not forward any
ingress or egress packets.
Speed and Duplex Sets the speed and duplex mode of a
port. You can set a port to automatically
adjust its speed and duplex mode with
Auto-Negotiation or you can set these
parameters manually. The default setting
is Auto-Negotiation.
The possible settings are:
Auto-Negotiate
10Mbps - Half Duplex
10Mbps - Full Duplex
100Mbps - Half Duplex
100Mbps - Full Duplex
1Gb - Full Duplex
