Admin Advertisement — Defines the auto negotiation setting the port advertises.
The possible field values are:
–
Max Capability — Indicates that all port speeds and duplex mode settings are accepted.
–
10 Half — Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 Mbps speed port and half duplex mode setting.
–
10 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 Mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.
–
100 Half — Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 Mbps speed port and half duplex mode setting.
–
100 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 Mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.
–
1000 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 1000 Mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.
•
Current Advertisement — Indicates the port advertises its speed to its neighbor port to start the negotiation
process. The possible field values are those specified in the Admin Advertisement field.
•
Neighbor Advertisement — Indicates the neighboring port's advertisement settings.
•
Back Pressure — Displays the back pressure mode on the port. Back pressure mode is used to adjust the
transmission speed to avoid losing data. The possible field values are:
–
Enabled — Indicates that back pressure is enabled for the selected port.
–
Disabled — Indicates that back pressure is currently disabled for the selected port. This is the default
value.
•
Current Back Pressure — Displays the current Back Pressure setting.
•
Flow Control — Displays the flow control status on the port. Operates when the port is in full duplex mode.
–
Enable — Indicates that flow control is currently enabled for the selected port.
–
Disable — Indicates that flow control is currently disabled for the selected port. This is the default value.
•
Current Flow Control — Displays the current Flow Control setting.
•
MDI/MDIX — Defines the MDI/MDIX status on the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired opposite
the way end stations are wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through
Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up properly. When two hubs or switches are
connected to each other, or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure
that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
–
Auto — Use to automatically detect the cable type.
–
MDI (Media Dependent Interface) — Use for end stations.
–
MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover) — Use for hubs and switches.
•
Current MDI/MDIX — Displays the current MDI/MDIX setting.
•
Trunk — Defines if the port is part of a trunk.
•
PVE — Enables a port to be a Private VLAN Edge (PVE) port, which is isolated from other ports. When a port
is defined as PVE, it bypasses the Forwarding Database (FDB), and forwards all Unicast, Multicast and
Broadcast traffic to an uplink (except MAC-to-me packets). Uplinks can be an FE port or GE port. Traffic from
the uplink is distributed to all interfaces.
None indicates that the port is not defined as PVE.
Only one uplink can be defined for a protected port. An IP address cannot be configured on the VLAN of
which a protected port is a member.
