Figure 64: Switch Port Configuration Confirmation

State

All ports have two states: enabled or disabled. Enabled ports transmit and receive
data packets. Disabled ports can not transmit or receive packets. You can disable
ports. However, you will not be able to use a disabled port.

Physical

Refers to the physical state of the port. If you manually change the state of a port
it will remain in that state until you change it. It will not auto negotiate speed and
duplex mode. All TX ports can be in the following physical states:

Auto

100Tx/Half

100Tx/Full

10Tx/Half

10Tx/Full

Ports in the Auto state automatically negotiate speed and duplex mode. This is the
default setting.

Ports set in the 100Tx/Half physical state are set to work at 100 Mbps half duplex.
