DESCRIPTION
This is the label of a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
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-negotiation,
you must make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the 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.
Select 100/Half if the Ethernet port has a 100 MB half-duplex electrical connection.
Select this check box to turn on flow control on a port.
Click Apply to save the changes in this screen to the system's volatile memory. The
system loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Config Save link
on the navigation panel and then the Save button to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
