Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View
Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports
If you have any Fast Ethernet NIMs installed in your 7C0x SmartSwitch chassis,
the Port Configuration window available for those ports allows you to both view
and set that port's available modes. All 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports can be
configured to operate in either standard Ethernet (10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100
Mbps) mode, and in each mode can be configured to operate in Full Duplex,
effectively doubling the available wire speed (from 10 to 20 Mbps in standard
Ethernet mode, or from 100 to 200 Mbps in Fast Ethernet mode); 100Base-FX
(fiber) ports can be configured to operate in their standard 100 Mbps mode, or in
full duplex mode. This window also displays the mode currently in effect on the
selected interface, and provides some information (where it is available) about the
interface's link partner.
To access the Port Configuration Window:
1. If necessary, put the Hub View into the Interface Application Display mode
2. Click mouse button 3 on the Port Status box for the Fast Ethernet interface
3. Drag down to Configuration, and release. The Fast Ethernet Port
