the next step.
4. Select a port speed from the Change Speed drop-down list corresponding to the port for which you
want to change the speed.

Assigning a Name to a Port
Port names are optional. You can assign a name to a port to make port grouping easier. The Port Name
column in the Ports tab displays the port name, if one exists.
The SilkWorm 3016 switch is preconfigured with port names; you can change them to suit your needs.
