Displays the port number. The number is 1 – 8. Ports 7 and 8 may be fiber modules.
Media:
Shows the media type used in all ports. Port 7 and Port 8 are dual media ports, which support
either fiber or UTP media with either Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet. If SFP modules are
installed, Port 7 and/or Port 8 can no longer be used for a UTP connection. Since the fiber port
could be multimode or singlemode, the information will be based on the actual media installed in
the switch with reference to connector, distance, fiber mode, etc. The module port information is
displayed in 5.11.
Link:
Displays an active or inactive port. If the link is connected to a working device, the link will show
that is it "Up"; otherwise, it will show "Down". This is determined by the hardware on both
devices of the connection.
No default value.
State:
Displays the communication function of the port is "Enabled" or "Disabled". When it is enabled,
traffic can be transmitted and received via this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be
transferred through this port. Port State is configured by user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Negotiation:
Displays the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes supported in the switch.
They are auto-negotiation mode "Enabled" and forced mode "Disabled". When in "Enabled"
mode, this function will be automatically negotiated by the hardware itself and exchange the
capability of speed and duplex mode. The best communication mode will be used. When in
"Disabled" mode, both parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex, otherwise,
there will be no link. In this case, the link result is "Down".
Default: Enabled
Speed / Duplex Mode:
