3.3.5.1 Ports Configuration
This page displays current port configurations and allows some configuration here.
Port:
GSW-1005MS are managed gigabit switches with 5 electrical LAN ports numbered 1~5 and 1 fiber optical port (for
SFP module) numbered 6. Each logical port number is displayed in a row. The select all "*" port will apply actions on
all ports.
Link:
The current link state for each port is displayed graphically. Green indicates the link is up and red that it is down.
Current Speed:
This column provides the current link speed (10, 100, 1G) and duplex (fdx=Full Duplex, hdx=Half Duplex) of each port.
Configured Speed:
This pull down selects any available link speed for the given switch port. Only speeds supported by the specific port
are shown.
Options for GSW-1005MS
Possible copper port settings are:
* Disabled - Disables the switch port operation.
* Auto - Port auto negotiating speed with the link partner, selecting the highest speed that is compatible with the link
partner and negotiating the duplex mode.
* 10Mbps HDX - Forces the port to 10Mbps half duplex mode.
* 10Mbps FDX - Forces the port to 10Mbps full duplex mode.
* 100Mbps HDX - Forces the port to 100Mbps half duplex mode.
* 100Mbps FDX - Forces the port to 100Mbps full duplex mode.
* 1Gbps FDX - Forces the port to 1Gbps full duplex
Possible fiber port settings are
* Disabled - Disables the switch port operation.
* Auto nego - Port auto negotiating speed with the link partner, selecting the highest speed that is compatible with
the link partner.
* Detection - There is no standardized way to do SFP auto detect, so here it is done by reading the SFP rom. Due to the
missing standardized way of doing SFP auto detect some SFP's speed might not be detectable.
* 100Mbps FDX - Forces the fiber port to 100Mbps full duplex mode.
* 1Gbps FDX - Forces the fiber port to 1Gbps full duplex mode.
Flow Control:
The Current Rx column indicates whether pause frames on the port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column
indicates whether pause frames on the port are transmitted. The Rx and Tx settings are determined by the result of
the last Auto-Negotiation. Check the configured column to use flow control. This setting is also related to the setting
for Configured Link Speed.
Maximum Frame Size:
Enter the maximum frame size allowed for the switch port, including FCS. This switch supports up to 9600 byte
packets.
Excessive Collision Mode:
This setting configures the port transmit collision behavior to either "Discard" (Discard frame after 16 collisions -
default) or to "Restart" (Restart backoff algorithm after 16 collisions).
