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.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 7).
2. Click on Physical Interface.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
•
Port - Specifies the port number. The All value indicates ports 01 through 08 on
the Switch. You cannot change this parameter.
•
Type - This parameter indicates the port type. On the Switch, the port type can
be 10Gbps/Full, 5Gbps/Full, 2.5Gbps/Full, 1000Mbps/Full, and 100Mbps/Full.
•
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 maximum operating speed and duplex mode. The actual
operating speed and duplex mode of the port are displayed in port
Type (for example, "1000Mbps" for 1000 Mbps full duplex mode) after
a port establishes a link with an end node.
o
10000/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Gbps
operation in full-duplex mode.
o
5000/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 5Gbps
operation in full-duplex mode.
o
2500/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 2.5Gbps
operation in full-duplex 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.
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.
•
Jumbo: This parameter indicates whether or not jumbo frames can be accepted
by the switch. You may want to activate jumbo frames when your switch will
transmit video and audio files. The possible values are:
o
Enabled -This parameter indicates the port is permitted to accept
jumbo frames.
