Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
7. Toggle the Speed/Duplex field to select the speed and duplex state of the port. The Auto
setting allows the port to automatically determine the fastest settings that the device the
port is connected to can handle. The other options are 1000M/Full, 100M/Full,
100M/Half, 10M/Full, or 10M/Half. There is no automatic adjustment of port settings
with any option other than Auto.
8. Toggle Flow Control to On or Off.
9. Highlight APPLY.
10. Press the Enter key to make the change effective.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
Configuring Bandwidth
The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to set a bandwidth limitation that restricts the
ingress (receiving) and egress (transmitting) packet rate for each port. If the packet rate
exceeds the allowed bandwidth rate, the excess packets will be dropped.
Bandwidth is configured in 1 to 127 units. Each unit is 117,481 bytes per second (around 0.94
Mb/s) for ports 1-24 and 939,850 bytes (about 7.52 Mb/s) for optional ports.
To configure bandwidth:
1. Highlight Configure Bandwidth on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following menu is displayed.
The Bandwidth Configuration menu allows you to access screens that set and display the
ingress bandwidth and egress bandwidth of specified ports on the GbE Interconnect Switch.
