Viewing or Changing the ToS Byte Setting

Setting the Ethernet Link Rate

Note
4 - 6
To view or change the ToS byte setting, use the following steps:
1. Using the configuration graphical user interface, from the Configuration
Menu on the left-hand side, click Traffic Shaper.
2. Scroll down the area of the screen shown below.
3. For most situations, you should leave this setting as it is. Only change it if
your provider indicates that you should do so. If your provider indicates
that you need to change the ToS byte setting, that provider should also
provide the other parameters required on this screen.
4. If you have changed the values, click Submit to activate the new settings.
Ethernet autonegotiation is often unreliable, especially between different
vendors or old and new networking equipment. Failure of autonegotiation is
generally not a cause for concern. However, if the negotiated rates change
intermittently or the link is reported as no link or down, the link rate may need
to be set manually. An interface that flutters because of the autonegotiation
setting, may cause intermittent voice and data outages.
The vast majority of Ethernet networking devices including the 5300-S use
autonegotiate as a default setting. Chances are that you will not have to set the
Ethernet link rate. Please use caution if manually configuring the link rate, as a
speed or duplex mismatch will result in a loss of connectivity.
If needed, configure the rate of the physical Ethernet port on the 5300-S. The
default setting for the Ethernet port is autonegotiate, and it applies to both the
link speed and duplex with locally attached devices.
