Configure Ports
Highlight Configure Ports in the main menu and press Enter. The following window
opens.
Toggle the View Ports field, using the Spacebar, to view the configuration of a
range of internal or external ports. To configure a specific port, toggle the
Configure Port from[]to[]field until the applicable port number or port range
appears. Toggle the State field to either enable or disable a port.
Toggle the Speed/Duplex field to select the speed and duplex/half-duplex state of
the four external ports Ext1 to Ext4. Auto means auto-negotiation between 10, 100,
and 1000 Mbps devices, in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. The Auto setting
enables these ports to automatically determine the fastest settings that the device
to which the port is connected can handle and then to use those settings. The other
options are 100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, and 10M/Half. There is no automatic
adjustment of port settings with any option other than Auto. Flow Control can be
enabled or disabled in conjunction with all of the Speed/Duplex settings except
10M/Half and 100M/Half. In these two cases, back pressure is automatically
selected.
The 14 internal ports in the switch module support only 1000M/Full, and each port
can have Flow Control enabled or disabled.
