40 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
CAUTION: If you try to add a port to a trunk and the
speed setting of the port to be added does not match
that of the trunk, an error message appears and port
will not be added to the trunk.
Configuring Trunk Settings
Ports that are members of the same trunk will have
the same speed/duplex, autonegotiation, and flow
control settings. You cannot configure these settings
for individual member ports.
To configure the settings of a trunk’s member ports:
1 On the menu, click Port Configuration. The Port Con-
figuration screen appears.
2 Under the Port column, click the port group that you
want to configure. The Port Settings screen appears.
Figure 19 Port Settings Screen
3 Configure the status, autonegotiation, speed/duplex,
and flow control settings of the trunk as you would
configure an individual port (see available options in
Table 10). Note however that these settings will be
applied to all members of the trunk.
4 Click Apply to save your changes.
Configuring PoE
Using the PoE Configuration screen, you can enable
or disable PoE on all ports or configure the PoE set
-
tings of individual ports.
To access the PoE Configuration screen, click PoE
Configuration on the menu. The screen has two sec
-
tions, as shown in Figure 20:
■ Switch Configuration – Shows the maximum
power available (power budget) to PoE devices, the
amount of power currently being drawn, and the
remaining available power.
■ PoE Configuration – Shows a summary of the PoE
settings for all ports, including the power limit and
utilization and PoE priority for each port.
