You might want to disable a port and prevent packets 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 to resume normal operation. You can also disable an unused
port to secure it from unauthorized connections. Possible values
are:
Enabled - The port is able to send and receive Ethernet frames.
This is the default setting for all of the ports on the switch.
Disabled - The port has been manually disabled.
Speed Mode
The current operating settings of the port. Possible values are:
Auto - Indicates that the port is using Auto-Negotiation to set
operating speed and duplex mode. This is the default setting for
all of the ports.
10-HDx - 10 Mbps in half-duplex mode
100-HDx - 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode
10-FDx - 10 Mbps in full-duplex mode
100-FDX - 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode
1000-FDx - 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
1000-HDx - 1000 Mbps in half-duplex mode
The 1000 Mbps settings can only be applied on Ports 49-50.
Flow Control
The current flow control setting on the port. The switch uses a
special pause packet to stop the end node from sending frames.
The pause packet notifies the end node to stop transmitting for a
specified period of time.
Possible values are:
Enabled - The port is allowed to use flow control. This is the
default setting for all of the ports on the switch.
Disabled - The port is not configured to use flow control.
MAC Address
This specifies the MAC address of the port.
Priority
This parameter applies only when the switch is using STP. Priority
is used as a tie-breaker when two or more ports have equal costs
to the root bridge. The range is 0 - 255.
Path Cost
This parameter applies only when the switch is using STP. Path
cost is used to decide which port has the lowest cost to the root
bridge.
