Figure 2-15. The Fast Ethernet Port Configuration Window
From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or — for
100Base-TX interfaces — set the port to Auto-Negotiation so that the appropriate
operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you set will determine the
speed of the port and whether it uses Full Duplex or Standard Mode bridging.
NOTE
Auto-Negotiation is not supported by the FE-100FX Fast Ethernet port interface module.
If you launch the window for a port module slot which has no FE module installed, the
Port Type will display as Unknown, the Link State will display No Link, and the rest of the
fields will be blank and/or grayed out.
TIP
If you select the Configuration option available for a standard Ethernet or FDDI interface
or for an Ethernet port on a second generation module, an entirely different window will
appear; see
Configuring Standard Ethernet and FDDI Ports
, or
Ethernet Ports on Second Generation Modules
, for information on
configuring these ports.
