• Gigabit negotiate mode – see “Changing the 802.3x Gigabit Negotiation Mode” on page 10-32
• QoS priority – see “Modifying Port Priority (QoS)” on page 10-33
NOTE: To modify Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4 features on a port, see the appropriate section in this chapter or
other chapters. For example, to modify Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) parameters for a port, see “Modifying STP
Bridge and Port Parameters” on page 10-34.
All Foundry ports are pre-configured with default values that allow the device to be fully operational at initial
startup without any additional configuration. However, in some cases, changes to the port parameters may be
necessary to adjust to attached devices or other network requirements.
The current port configuration for all ports is displayed when you select the Port
link from the Configure tree. You
can easily determine a port’s state by observing the color in the Port field.
• Red – indicates there is no link.
• Green – indicates the link is good.
This example shows the port states for a BigIron Layer 3 Switch that has not yet been connected to the rest of the
network.
Click on the Copy or Modify button next to a row of port information to display a configuration panel for that port.
• Select Modify to change parameters for a port.
• Select Copy to apply a port’s parameter settings to another port.
Here is an example of the Port configuration panel.
