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.
