If you are running the Omega interface from a web browser, you can
display this window by clicking any port in the graphical display of the
managed switch.
3. Configure the port settings as desired.
A change to a port setting is activated immediately on the port. The
parameters are described below.
Receive Statistics Graph
This option displays performance statistics for the port, specifically
the number and types of frames and errors that have occurred on the
port. For further information on port statistics, refer to Chapter 6,
Displaying Ethernet Statistics.
Note
This option is not available from a Telnet or local Omega session. To
display port statistics from a Telnet or local Omega session, select
Ethernet statistics from the main menu. This option is explained in
Chapter 6.
Enable this port
Disable (partition) this port
These selections allow you to manually disable a port in the switch so
that it no longer receives or sends packets. You might want to disable
a port 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. The default setting is
enabled.
Auto-negotiate
Full-duplex
Half-duplex
These three selections control the duplex mode of the port. Full-
duplex means that the port can both send and receive data
simultaneously. You can select this setting for a port if you know that
the device connected to the port supports full-duplex.
Half-duplex means the port can send or receive data, but not both at
the same time. Use this setting if you know that the device connected
to the port supports half-duplex mode.
Auto-negotiate means that the port negotiates with the connected
device to automatically configure to the highest common setting.
This setting eliminates the need to reconfigure the port if you change
the type of device connected to the port. Both end devices need to be
auto-negotiation compliant (802.3u) for the best possible
