Port Configuration
You can use the Port Configuration page to manually set the speed, duplex mode,
and flow control.
Field Attributes
• Enable Jumbo Frames – This switch provides more efficient throughput for large
sequential data transfers by supporting jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet ports up
to 9216 bytes. Compared to standard Ethernet frames that run only up to 1.5 KB,
using jumbo frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead required to
process protocol encapsulation fields.
• Power Saving Mode – Adjusts the power provided to ports based on the length
of the cable used to connect to other devices. Only sufficient power is used to
maintain connection requirements.
IEEE 802.3 defines the Ethernet standard and subsequent power requirements
based on cable connections operating at 100 meters. Enabling power saving
mode can significantly reduce power used for cable lengths of 20 meters or less,
and continue to ensure signal integrity.
•
Speed/Duplex – Allows you to manually set the port speed and duplex mode.
• Flow Control – Allows flow control to be enabled or disabled. When the box is
checked, flow control is enabled.
• Trunk – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk.
Note:
Ports within a trunk cannot be configured individually. However, you can use the
“Trunk Configuration” page to manually set the same speed, duplex mode, and
flow control for every port in a trunk.
