Configure Physical Interfaces

Network > Physical Interface
This section allows you to configure the physical port parameters such as speed, duplex,
and flow control. 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 6).
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 10 on
the Switch. You cannot change this parameter. You can use the All row value in
the Port column to apply Admin Status, Mode, Jumbo, Flow Contrl, EAP, BPDU
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
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..

Flow Ctrl: Flow Control, This parameter reflects the current flow control setting
on the port. The switch uses a special pause packet to notify the end node to
stop transmitting for a specified period of time. The possible values are:
