❏
Port Status — Indicates whether the port is currently operational or non-operational.
The possible field values are:
◆
Up — Indicates the port is currently operating.
◆
Down — Indicates the port is currently not operating.
❏
Port Speed — Displays the configured rate for the port. The port type determines what
speed setting options are available. Port speed can only be configured when auto

◆
100M — Indicates the port is currently operating at 100 Mbps.
◆
1000M — Indicates the port is currently operating at 1000 Mbps.
❏
Duplex Mode — Displays the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when
auto negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. This field cannot
be configured on LAGs. The possible field values are:
◆
Full — The interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner
in both directions simultaneously.
◆
Half — The interface supports transmission between the device and the link partner
in one direction at a time.
