Advanced Port Properties
Use this tab to configure the Smartport roles VLAN and authorized MAC ID.
You must be online to configure these port features. Most of the information on
this tab is not displayed if you are offline.
Auto-negotiate Check if you want the port and end-device to auto-negotiate the
link speed and Duplex mode.
Clear the checkbox to manually select the desired port speed
and Duplex mode.
We recommend that you use the default (auto-negotiate)
so that the speed and duplex settings on the switch port
automatically match the setting on the connected device.
Change the switch port speed and duplex if the
connected device requires a specific speed and duplex. If
you set the speed and duplex for the switch port, the
connected device must also be configured for the exact
same speed and duplex, and not set to auto-negotiate,
otherwise a speed/duplex mismatch will occur.
Fiber optic interfaces do not support auto-negotiation.
