Port Configuration
This section describes how to configure port connections, mirror traffic from one
port to another, and run cable diagnostics.
Configuring by
Port List
Use the Interface > Port > General (Configure by Port List) page to enable/disable
an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to advertise, or
manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.
Command Usage
◆ Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force a Gigabit
RJ-45 interface to use the Speed/Duplex mode or Flow Control options.
◆ When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated between
the link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set the speed, duplex
mode, or flow control under auto-negotiation, the required operation modes
must be specified in the capabilities list for an interface.
◆ The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation
should always be used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or
trunk. If not used, the success of the link process cannot be guaranteed when
connecting to other types of switches.
◆ The Speed/Duplex mode is fixed at 1000full on 1000BASE SFP ports
1
and
10Gfull on the 10GBASE SFP+ ports. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the
attributes which can be advertised include the speed, duplex mode, and flow
control.
Note:
Auto-negotiation is not supported for 1000BASE SFP transceivers used in
10G SFP+ Ports 25-28 / 49-52.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Port – Port identifier. (Range: 1-28/52)
◆ Type – Indicates the port type. (1000BASE-T, 10GBASE SFP+ or 1000BASE SFP
(used in the ECS4620-28F/28F-DC or when this transceiver type is used in an
SFP+ port).
◆ Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)
◆ Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an
interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-
enable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an
interface for security reasons. (Default: Enabled)
