Configuring Interface Connections

You can use the Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration page to
enable/disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface
capabilities to advertise, or manually fix the speed and duplex mode.
Note: Interface settings for the management port can only be configured
from the CLI.
Command Attributes
• Port – Port number. (Range: 1-8)
• Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)

- 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation
- 100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
- 100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation
- 10Gfull - Supports 10 Gbps full-duplex operation
(Default: Disabled for Ports 1-8, enabled for Port 9; Advertised
capabilities for Ports 1-8: 10Gfull, Port 9: 100BASE-TX – 10half,
