Link: The current link state for each port is displayed graphically. Green indicates the link is up and red indicates that it is
down.
Current Speed: This column provides the current link speed (Auto nego, 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.
Possible copper 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 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).
