Port Configuration
Properties Configure basic switch port settings on the Port Configuration tab. These
settings determine how data is received and sent between the switch and the
attached device.
You must be online to configure the port features. Most of the information on
this tab does not appear if you are offline.
Field Description
Unit Indicates where the port resides:
• Base (for example, 1783-MS10T).
• Expansion module (for example, 1783-MX08T).
Port Indicates the port selected for configuration.
The port number includes the port type (Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet), the base or expansion module number (1, 2, or 3), and the
specific port number such as in the following examples:
• Gi1/1 is Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on the base.
• Fa2/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the first expansion module.
Enable Check to enable the port.
Clear the checkbox to manually disable (shut down) the port.
We recommend that you disable the port if the port is not in use and is not attached to a device. You can troubleshoot a suspected unauthorized
connection by manually disabling the port.
