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, uncheck the
Enable box in the Auto Negotiation column. Then
select the port speed: 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
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.
