Select this check box to turn on an interface. The factory default for all ports is

enabled. A port must be enabled for data transmission to occur.

Enter a descriptive name that identifies this port. You can use up to 31 English

keyboard characters; spaces are not allowed.

Set a port as subtending to daisy-chain other Ethernet switches. Use uplink mode

to connect to a backbone Ethernet switch or router.

Select the type of Ethernet connection for this port. When you don't use auto-

same in order to connect.

Select Auto (auto-negotiation) to have the system automatically determine the

type of connection that the Ethernet port has. When the peer Ethernet device has

auto-negotiation turned on, the system negotiates with the peer to determine the

connection speed. If the peer Ethernet port does not have auto-negotiation turned

on, the system determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the

cable and using full duplex.

Select 1000/Full if the Ethernet port has a 1000 MB connection.

Select 100/Full if the Ethernet port has a 100 MB full-duplex electrical connection.
