Configuring the Network
Configuring Network Interfaces
You use the Interfaces tab to configure the interfaces of your Access Controllers or Integrated Access
Managers. You can configure:
• The transmission speed and duplex setting for each port on the Access Controller or Integrated
Access Manager. You can also set the speed and duplex setting for the uplink port on a Access
Control Server.
Configuring the Port Speed and Duplex Settings
The Connection Type settings let you specify the speed and duplex setting for each I/O port. Port
Settings are available on the
Speed/Duplex tab of the Interfaces page for all system components.
The
Connection Type field shows the configured connection type, and the type of the actual connection
detected at the port, if different from the configured type (shown in parentheses). In Figure 6-21, on
page 6-39, all ports are configured for autoselect (allowing automatic negotiation to determine the port
settings). For the ports where no media is connected, the value in parentheses is
none. If the port is
configured for a specific connection type, and the actual connection matches the configured type, the
connection type is displayed only once (no parentheses).
The Connection Type field provides a drop-down list with the possible settings allowed for the port.
Figure 6-20 shows an example of a drop-down list. The items in the list depend on the type of port.
Figure 6-20. Example of a Port Connection Type selection list
To configure a port for a specific connection type, do the following:
Step 1. On the Interfaces setup page select the Access Controller to configure.
Step 2. Click the Speed/Duplex tab.
The Speed/Duplex page for Access Controllers appears. See Figure 6-21.
