Port Management
The ports on the TE-100/S14 Switch can be managed through the
3 -2
Out-of-Band RS-232 port. In Table Chapter
, page 23, Port
Configuration allows a user to enable or disable a port
connecting to a LAN segment.
The Port Configuration also allows a user to set the priority of a
port. A number (ranging 1 - 255, high - low) can be entered to
identify the priority setting of the Switch. This number, in
conjunction with the pre-set port ID, is used under the Spanning
Tree Algorithm to determine the "Root Port" for forwarding
Ethernet data, and to avoid network loop.
The Port Status displays the state of the port at any given time.
A port will display one of the states (Blocking, Learning,
Listening, Forwarding, and Disable) responding to the port
Enable / Disable setting, and to the dynamic changes in routing
paths of the surrounding network.
