The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 15 Basic Setting > Port Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port This is the port index number. In stacking mode, the first number is the slot ID and the
second is the port number. * means all ports.
* Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row
first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Active Select this check box to enable a port. The factory default for all ports is enabled. A port
must be enabled for data transmission to occur.
Name Type a descriptive name that identifies this port. You can enter up to 64 alpha-numerical
characters.
Note: Due to space limitations, the port name may be truncated in some web configurator
screens.
Type This field displays 10M /100M/1000M for a 1000Base-T connection, 1000M for a
1000Base-X connection, and 10G for a 10 Gigabit connection (available only on the Switch
that has a 10 Gigabit interface).
Speed/Duplex Select the speed and the duplex mode of the Ethernet connection on this port. The choices
are Auto, 10M/Half Duplex, 10M/Full Duplex, 100M/Half Duplex and 100M/Full
Duplex for a 100Base-T connection. 1000M/Full Duplex is supported by both 1000Base-
T and 1000Base-X connections. 10G/Full Duplex is supported by the 10 Gigabit Ethernet
connections on the Switch that has a 10 Gigabit interface.
Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port
automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the Switch negotiates with the peer
automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does
not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection
speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the Switch's
auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when
making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are
the same in order to connect.
