5 INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the following topics:
◆ Port Configuration – Configures connection settings, including auto-
negotiation, or manual setting of speed, duplex mode, and flow control.
◆ Local Port Mirroring – Sets the source and target ports for mirroring on
the local switch.
◆ Displaying Statistics – Shows Interface, Etherlike, and RMON port
statistics in table or chart form.
◆ Cable Test – Tests the cable attached to a port.
◆ Trunk Configuration – Configures static or dynamic trunks.
◆ Saving Power – Adjusts the power provided to ports based on the
length of the cable used to connect to other devices.
PORT CONFIGURATION
This section describes how to configure port connections, mirror traffic
from one port to another, and run cable diagnostics.
CONFIGURING BY
PORT LIST
Use the Interface > Port > General (Configure by Port List) page to enable/
disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to
advertise, or manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.
COMMAND USAGE
◆ Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force an
interface to use the Speed/Duplex mode or Flow Control options.
◆ When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated
between the link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set
the speed, duplex mode, or flow control under auto-negotiation, the
required operation modes must be specified in the capabilities list for
an interface.
◆ The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-
negotiation should always be used to establish a connection over any
1000BASE-T port or trunk. If not used, the success of the link process
cannot be guaranteed when connecting to other types of switches.
