Description
The name of the Port Set
The ports that have been defined for use by the Port Set and their
speed.
All hardware products have four 1Gbit ports. 10Gbit ports may be
available for some hardware products. This depends upon whether the
model supports 10Gbit Ethernet and whether network cards have been
installed.
Any bond mode that has been defined. Bond modes are only
appropriate if there is more than one port in the Port Set.
This defines whether the Port Set is VLAN enabled or not.
This defines the amount of data contained in an Ethernet frame, the
default is 1500 bytes. Larger size frames, often referred to as "Jumbo"
frames, can improve performance of the Port Set. Use this field to
increase or decrease the value, which must be an integer between
1280 and 9000.
IMPORTANT:
Other devices on the network (clients and switches) must also be
configured to enable Jumbo frames for transfer of frames larger
than 1500 bytes to be possible and to avoid packets fragmenting
or dropping.
