Network > Physical Interface
This section allows you to configure the physical port parameters such as speed, duplex,
flow control, and jumbo frames. This section also reports the current link status of each
port and negotiated speed/duplex. Additionally you will be able to set your BPDU ports
for Spanning Tree Configuration and EAP ports for 802.1x port-based authentication
configuration.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 9).
2. Click on Network, click on Physical Interface, and click on Port.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
•
Port - Specifies the port number. The All value indicates ports 1 through 10 on
the Switch. You cannot change this parameter. You can use the All column
value in the Port column to apply, Mode, Flow Control, and Description
settings to all ports at the same time.
•
Link Status - This parameter indicates the status of the link between the port
and the end node connected to the port. The possible values are:
Link up -This parameter indicates a valid link exists between the port
o
and the end node.
Link down -This parameter indicates the port and the end node have
o
not established a valid link.
•
Mode: This parameter indicates the speed and duplex mode settings for the
port. You can use this parameter to set the speed and duplex mode of a port.
The possible settings are:

Auto -This parameter indicates the port is using Auto-Negotiation to
o
set the operating speed and duplex mode. The actual operating speed
and duplex mode of the port are displayed in parentheses (for
example, "10G" for 10Gbps full duplex mode) after a port establishes a
link with an end node.
Auto (10G) -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
o
10Gbps operation in Auto-Negotiation mode.
Auto (1G) -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
o
1Gbps/1000Mbps operation in Auto-Negotiation mode.
10G/Full – This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Gbps
o
operation in full-duplex mode
1G/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 1000Mbps
o
operation in full-duplex mode.
Note: When selecting a Mode setting, the following points apply:
When a twisted-pair port is set to Auto-Negotiation, the end node should
o
also be set to Auto-Negotiation to prevent a duplex mode mismatch.
A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects
o
that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can result in a
mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex to a switch port, disable Auto-Negotiation on the port
and set the port's speed and duplex mode manually.
The only valid setting for the SFP ports is Auto-Negotiation.
o
Flow Control: This parameter reflects the current flow control setting on the
•
port. The switch uses a special pause packet to notify the end node to stop
transmitting for a specified period of time. The possible values are:
Enabled - This parameter indicates that the port is permitted to use
o
flow control.
Disabled - This parameter indicates that the port is not permitted to
o
use flow control.
•
Description: This parameter offers the ability to name the device that's
connected to it
