Configuring Port Operating Parameters

Autonegotiation is enabled by default on a switch's 10/100 Ethernet ports.
Note: D-Link recommends that you do not configure the mode of a switch port so that one side of
the link is set to autonegotiation while the other side is set to full-duplex. Although MSS allows this
configuration, it can result in slow throughput on the link. The slow throughput occurs because the side
that is configured for autonegotiation falls back to half-duplex. A stream of large packets sent to a switch
port in such a configuration can cause forwarding on the link to stop.
You can configure the following port operating parameters:
• Speed
• Autonegotiation
• Port state
• PoE state
You also can toggle a port's administrative state and PoE setting off and back on to reset the port.
10/100 Ethernet ports use autonegotiation by default to determine the appropriate port speed.
To explicitly set the port speed of a 10/100 port, use the following command:
set port speed port-list {10 | 100 | auto}
To set the port speed on ports 1 and 3 through 5 to 10Mbps, type the following command:
DWS-1008# set port speed 1,3-5 10
All ports are enabled by default. To administratively disable a port, use the following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
A port that is administratively disabled cannot send or receive packets. This command does not affect
the link state of the port.
