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
The Speed/Duplex mode is fixed at 1000full for Gigabit transceivers, and 10Gfull for
10 Gigabit transceivers.
Note:
Auto-negotiation is not supported for SFP/SFP+ transceivers.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Port – Port identifier. (Range: 1-28)
Type – Indicates the port type. (1000BASE-T or 10GBASE SFP+)
Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)
Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an
interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-
enable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an
interface for security reasons. (Default: Enabled)
Media Type – Configures the forced transceiver mode for SFP/SFP+ ports
.
None - Forced transceiver mode is not used for SFP/SFP+ ports.
SFP-Forced 1000SFP
- Always uses the SFP/SFP+ port at 1000 Mbps, Full
Duplex.
SFP-Forced
10GSFP - Always uses the SFP+ port at 10 Gbps, Full Duplex.
Autonegotiation (Port Capabilities) – Allows auto-negotiation to be enabled/
disabled. When auto-negotiation is enabled, you need to specify the
capabilities to be advertised. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you can force
the settings for speed, mode, and flow control. The following capabilities are
supported.
10h - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation.
