Configure Physical Interfaces

Network > Physical Interface
This section allows you to configure the physical port parameters such as speed, duplex,
flow control, and jumbo frames. This section also reports the current link status of each
port and negotiated speed/duplex. Additionally you will be able to set your BPDU ports
for Spanning Tree Configuration and EAP ports for 802.1x port-based authentication
configuration.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 7).
2. Click on Network and click on Physical Interface.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.

Port - Specifies the port number. The All value indicates ports 1 through 5 on
the Switch. You cannot change this parameter. You can use the All row value in
the Port column to apply Administration Status, Mode, and Flow Control
settings to all ports at the same time.

Link Status - This parameter indicates the status of the link between the port
and the end node connected to the port. The possible values are:
o
Up -This parameter indicates a valid link exists between the port and
the end node.
o
Down -This parameter indicates the port and the end node have not
established a valid link.

Admin. Status: This parameter indicates the operating status of the port. You
can use this parameter to enable or disable a port. You may want to disable a
port and prevent packets from being forwarded if a problem occurs with the
node or cable connected to the port. You can enable the port to resume
normal operation after the problem has been fixed. You can also disable an
unused port to secure it from unauthorized connections. The possible values
are:

o
Enabled - This parameter indicates the port is able to send and receive
Ethernet frames.
o
Disabled - This parameter indicates the port is not able to send and
receive Ethernet frames.

Mode: This parameter indicates the speed and duplex mode settings for the
port. You can use this parameter to set the speed and duplex mode of a port.
The possible settings are:
o
Auto -This parameter indicates the port is using Auto-Negotiation to
set the operating speed and duplex mode. The actual operating speed
and duplex mode of the port are displayed in parentheses (for
example, "1000/F" for 1000 Mbps full duplex mode) after a port
establishes a link with an end node.
o
Auto (1000F) -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
1000Mbps operation in Auto-Negotiation mode.
o
1000/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
1000Mbps operation in full-duplex mode.
o
100/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 100Mbps
operation in full-duplex mode.
o
10/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Mbps
operation in full-duplex mode.
o
100/Half -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 100Mbps
operation in half-duplex mode.
o
10/Half -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Mbps
operation in half-duplex mode.
Note: When selecting a Mode setting, the following points apply:
o
When a twisted-pair port is set to Auto-Negotiation, the end node
should also be set to Auto-Negotiation to prevent a duplex mode
mismatch.
o
A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it
detects that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can
result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex. To avoid this problem when connecting an
end node with a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex to a switch port,
disable Auto-Negotiation on the port and set the port's speed and
duplex mode manually.
