Port Management Workflow
To configure ports, perform the following actions:
1. Configure port by using the
Port Setting Page .
2. Enable/disable the Link Aggregation Control protocol, and configure the
potential member ports to the desired Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) by using
the
LAG Management Page . By default, all LAGs have no port members.
3. Configure the Ethernet parameters, such as speed and auto negotiation for the
Link Aggregation Groups by using the LAG Settings Page.
4. Configure the LACP parameters for the ports that are members or candidates
of a Link Aggregation Group by using the
LACP Page.
5. Configure global Green Ethernet settings by using the Properties Page .
6. Configure per port Green Ethernet energy mode by using the Port Settings
Page.
7. If PoE is supported and enabled for the switch, configure the switch as
described in Managing Power-over-Ethernet Devices.
