Port Management
Port Setup
The default port settings will be sufficient for most small businesses, but you
can still use the Port Management > Port Setup page to customize these settings.
You can disable a port or customize its priority, speed, duplex mode, and auto-
negotiation settings. You can also enable port-based VLANs to control traffic
between devices on your network.
NOTE Remember to click Save to save your settings before leaving the page.
You can also click Cancel to undo the changes.
Enter the following settings, as needed:
Disable: Check this box to disable a port. By default, all ports
are enabled.
Priority:(for LAN ports
only)
Use this setting to ensure Quality of Service by
prioritizing the traffic for devices on particular ports.
For example, you might assign High priority to a
port that is used for gaming or videoconferencing.
For each port, select the appropriate priority level,
High or Normal. The default setting is Normal.
Speed: If you want to adjust this setting, first uncheck
the Enable box in the Auto Negotiation column
to disable auto-negotiation. Then select the port
speed: 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps.
Duplex: If you want to set the duplex mode, first uncheck
the Enable box in the Auto Negotiation column to
disable auto-negotiation. Select the duplex mode,
Half or Full.
Auto Neg.: Check the Enable box to allow the router to auto-
negotiate connection speeds and duplex mode.
This feature is enabled by default.
VLAN: (for LAN ports
only)
All LAN ports are on VLAN 1 by default. To place a
port on a separate VLAN, choose a VLAN from the
drop-down list.
