Port Setup

This page specifies the port state (enable or disable), link state, partition
state and the segment to which the port is attached, as shown in
Figure 7-9.
Figure 7-9 Port Setup Page
The fields are:
Connector Type Shows the type of cable connected to the port.
Link State Shows the state of the link for a twisted pair (10BASE-T)
port. If the port is a transceiver module port, this field may be blank.
Port State Enabled / Disabled
Specifies whether the port can repeat information to and from the
network.
If the port is part of a resilient link, you cannot enable or disable the
port. You must first delete the resilient link. For more information on
resilient links, refer to "What are Resilient Links?" on page 7-22.
Partition State Shows whether the port is on and repeating traffic, or
has automatically partitioned (isolated itself). If the port has partitioned
check the cabling at both the port and any devices connected to the
port, and check for network loops.
Attached to Shows the segment of which the port is a member.
To make the port a member of a different segment, simply select the
segment. A port only communicates with its segment if it is enabled.
The Partition State and Attached To fields are not displayed for a
100Mbps transceiver module port (in a PS Hub 50).
