I Configuring ports to non-default settings (page 9-2)
These settings include enable/disable, mode (speed and duplex), flow

You can configure static and dynamic trunks. Includes non-protocol

This feature enables you to prioritize inbound traffic that either
carries an 802.1Q VLAN tag with a priority of 0 (zero) or is not a tagged
VLAN packet.

If the switch either fails to show a link between an installed transceiver and
another device, or demonstrates errors or other unexpected behavior on the
link, check the port configuration on both devices for a speed and/or duplex
(mode) mismatch. To check the mode setting for a port on a Series 4100GL
switches, use either the Port Status screen in the menu interface (page 9-5) or
show interfaces brief in the CLI (page 9-6).
