4 Switching Pages

You can use the Switching Pages to configure port operation and capabilities.

Port Configuration

Use the Port Configuration page to view and configure the Admin mode and link speed setting for

each port on the switch. It is also used to display the link status and physical type of each switch

port.

The Admin mode is enabled by default and the default link speed is set to auto so that the duplex

mode and speed is set by the auto-negotiation process, and the port's maximum capability (full

duplex and 1000 Mbps in the case of Gigabit ports) is advertised.

When the mini GBIC fiber transceivers are used, the link speed can be configured as

100/1000Mbps Full-Duplex depending on the transceiver capability.

Auto Detect and Configure Fiber Modules

The auto detect and configure feature detects the type of fiber module inserted in a fiber port and

automatically configures it with the appropriate settings. When a fiber module is inserted or

changed, the link speed menu shows the available speed options.

To display the Port Configuration page, click Switching > Port Configuration in the navigation

pane.

NOTE: The display and the content of this page changes based on the physical port selected.

For example, if the selected port is an optional copper/fiber port and fiber is being used, then the

Link Speed selections will display only valid options for that port.
