ONFIGURING BY

This section describes how to configure port connections, mirror traffic

from one port to another, and run cable diagnostics.

Use the Interface > Port > General (Configure by Port List) page to enable/

disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to

advertise, or manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

"Interface Commands" on page 817

Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force an

RJ-45 interface to use the Speed/Duplex mode or Flow Control options.

When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated

between the link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set

the speed, duplex mode, or flow control under auto-negotiation, the

required operation modes must be specified in the capabilities list for

an interface.

The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-

negotiation should always be used to establish a connection over any

1000BASE-T port or trunk. If not used, the success of the link process

cannot be guaranteed when connecting to other types of switches.

The Speed/Duplex mode is fixed at 1000full on the Gigabit SFP ports.

When auto-negotiation is enabled, the only attributes which can be

advertised include flow control and symmetric pause frames.

These parameters are displayed:

Port – Port identifier.

Type – Indicates the port type. (100Base SFP, 1000Base-T,

1000Base SFP)

Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)

Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable

an interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and

then re-enable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also

disable an interface for security reasons. (Default: Enabled)

Media Type – Configures the forced/preferred port type to use for the

combination ports (Ports 1-12).

Copper-Forced - Always uses the built-in RJ-45 port.
