4. Adjust the port parameters as desired. You adjust a parameter by
typing its number. This toggles the parameter through its possible
settings. The parameters are described below.
0 - Port Name
This parameter appears only if you are configuring a single port.
You can use this selection to assign a name to a port. The name
can be up to fifteen alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed.
1 - Status
You use this selection to change the administrative status of a
port. When disabled, a port does not forward frames.
You might want to disable a port and prevent frames from being
forwarded if a problem occurs with the node or cable connected
to the port. Once the problem has been fixed, you can enable the
port again to resume normal operation. You can also disable an
unused port to secure it from unauthorized connections.
Press 1 to toggle between the following settings:
Enabled - The port is able to send and receive Ethernet frames.
This is the default setting for all ports on the switch.
Disabled - The port is not able to send or receive Ethernet frames.
2 - Broadcast Filter
You use this selection to protect a port from a deluge of packets
caused by a broadcast storm. Enabling the broadcast filter
parameter on a port causes the port to drop broadcast frames.
Press 2 to toggle between the following settings:
Enabled - When a port receives a broadcast frame, the port drops
the frame.
Disabled - The port does not watch for broadcast frames. Instead,
it accepts broadcast frames. This is the default.
3 - Override Priority
You use this selection to determine frame priority. For information
about override priority, see Class of Service Overview on page
215.
Press 3 to toggle between the following settings:
No override - Indicates that no override priority is assigned to
incoming frames. Instead, the port forwards frames according to
the priority embedded in the frame. This is the default.
Low Priority - Indicates low priority has been assigned to the port.
All ingress tagged and untagged frames received on the port are
forwarded to the egress port’s low priority queue.
