7. Set the following Ethernet port Properties:
Description
Admin Status
Speed
Duplex
8. Define the following Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and LLDP parameters to apply to the Ethernet port configuration:
Cisco Discover Protocol
Receive
Cisco Discover Protocol
Transmit
Link Layer Discovery
Protocol Receive
Link Layer Discovery
Protocol Transmit
9. Define the following
Mode
Native VLAN
Enter a brief description for the port (64 characters maximum). The description should
reflect the port's intended function to differentiate it from others with similar
configurations.
Select the Enabled radio button to define this port as active to the profile it supports.
Select the Disabled radio button to disable this physical port in the profile. It can be
activated at any future time when needed.
Select the speed at which the port can receive and transmit the data. Select either 10
Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps. Select either of these options to establish a 10, 100 or 1000
Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the
port. These options are not available if Auto is selected. Select Automatic to enable the
port to automatically exchange information about data transmission speed and duplex
capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful when in an environment where different devices
are connected and disconnected on a regular basis. Automatic is the default setting.
Select either half, full or automatic as the duplex option. Select Half duplex to send data
over the port, then immediately receive data from the same direction in which the data
was transmitted. Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry
data in both directions, just not at the same time. Select Full duplex to transmit data to
and from the port at the same time. Using full duplex, the port can send data while
receiving data as well. Select Automatic to enable to the access point to dynamically
duplex as port performance needs dictate. Automatic is the default setting.
Select this option to allow the Cisco discovery protocol for receiving data on this port.
Select this option to allow the Cisco discovery protocol for transmitting data on this port.
Select this option to snoop LLDP on this port. The default setting is enabled.
Select this option to transmit LLDP PDUs on this port. The default setting is disabled.
Switching Mode
parameters to apply to the Ethernet port configuration:
Select either the Access or Trunk radio button to set the VLAN switching mode over the
port. If Access is selected, the port accepts packets only form the native VLANs. Frames
are forwarded out the port untagged with no 802.1Q header. All frames received on the
port are expected as untagged and are mapped to the native VLAN. If the mode is set to
Trunk, the port allows packets from a list of VLANs you add to the trunk. A port configured
as Trunk supports multiple 802.1Q tagged VLANs and one Native VLAN which can be
tagged or untagged. Access is the default mode.
Use the spinner control to define a numerical Native VLAN ID from 1 - 4094. The native
VLAN allows the access point to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no 802.1Q
frame is included in the frame. Additionally, the native VLAN is the VLAN which untagged
traffic will be directed over when using a port in trunk mode. The default VLAN is 1.
