Advanced Port Configuration; Configuring Vlans - 3Com Baseline 2816 User Manual

always negotiate to half-duplex, resulting in a duplex
mismatch. This can result in a significant reduction in
network performance. If you are unsure of how to
configure the speed/duplex setting, simply enable
autonegotiation for the port.
You cannot modify the speed/duplex settings of ports
that are members of a trunk or aggregated link.
Supported SFP transceivers only operate at 1000Mbps
full-duplex. Inserting an SFP transceiver into a gigabit
port disables the corresponding RJ-45 port, even if no
fiber cable is inserted.

Advanced Port Configuration

Use the Advanced Port Configuration tab to set the
Switch's broadcast storm control and threshold limits.
A broadcast storm is an incorrect packet sent out on a
network that causes most hosts to respond all at once,
typically with wrong answers that start the process over
again. Broadcast storms use substantial network
bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.
Advanced settings include:
Broadcast Storm Control – Enables and disables
■
broadcast storm control
Packet Rate Threshold – Sets the broadcast storm

threshold. Available options include 500,1000,1500,
5000, 10000, and 15000 bytes per packet.

Configuring VLANs

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a collection of network nodes
that share the same collision domain, regardless of their
physical location or connection point in the network. A
