Customizing the Port Configuration

If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch

was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the

module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for

most networks.

The default port configurations for the modules are:

Ports Enabled: Yes

Mode:

•

10/100-TX GL Module: Auto — The port auto negotiates speed (10

or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and MDI or

MDI-X port operation. Note: if you configure the port to one of the

fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an MDI-X

port.

100/1000-T GL Module: Auto — The port auto negotiates speed

•

(1000 or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and

MDI or MDI-X port operation. Note: if you configure the port to one

of the fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an

MDI-X port.

Flow Control: Disabled

If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console

or the web browser interface. For more information, see the Management and

Configuration Guide shipped on the documentation CD that came with the

switch, and the online Help provided in the console and web browser inter-

face.

If the default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network,

then skip this process.
