Ports set in the 100Tx/Full state are set to work at 100 Mbps full duplex.
Ports set in the 10/Tx Half state are set to work at 10 Mbps half duplex.
Ports set in the 10Tx/Full state are set to work at 10 Mpbs full duplex.
The 100BASE-FX ports can only be in the 100/Fx Half or 100/Fx Full states. The
1000BASE-SX port can only be in 1000SX/Full. Half-duplex operation is not
supported.
Port State
All ports have four states: blocking, listening, learning and forwarding. Blocking
means that nothing is coming through the port. If the Spanning Tree Algorithm
detects a loop it will change the state of the port where the loop is detected to the
Blocking State. You can disable the Spanning Tree Algorithm. Forwarding means
the port is forwarding data packets to their destination.
Priority
The port priority can be set from zero to 255. Zero is the highest port priority. The
port assigned a zero will be the root port. The default setting will work in most
situations.
Follow these steps to configure ports:
1. Select the State setting of the appropriate port.
2. Use the down arrow to change the setting.
3. Select Apply.
4. Use the same procedure to make other changes.
