6.4.4 Port
This section is about configurations for ports. For port speed setting, maximum packet
size setting, mirror port setting, port bandwidth limit, and port statistics.
1). Port Configuration
This function is used to configure port settings of the switch. You can enable /disable a
port, set it to fixed 10M or 100M or 1000M ... and so on.
Auto Mode : User can select the operation mode of port when “auto” is set to disabled.
For “Auto Negotiation” mode, the switch will do port auto-negotiation function ON/OFF
when the auto function of port (in Port Configuration setting) is enabled/disabled.
For “Auto Detect” mode, the switch will always keep port auto-negotiation function ON
but just modify its attribution if auto function of port (in Port Configuration setting) is
disabled.
For applications, you should select “Auto Detect”mode if the connected device is auto-
negotiation enabled. (For example, customer’s PC is auto-negotiation enable and you
want to set his network connection to work at 10Mbps.)
And you can select “Auto Negotiation”mode if the connected device is auto-negotiation
disabled (it is called forced mode, sometimes). Some of old TX-FX Converters needs to
work in this mode because FX supports 100/Full forced mode only.
For most applications, “Auto Detect” mode is OK.
Port Setting : It is for modifying the setting of port. Follow the steps to do it.
