74 Configuring & Monitoring the Switch VH-8G
Configuring Port Operation
You can configure switch ports for operational parameters such as auto-
negotiation, duplex mode, and flow control. The 1000Base-SX fiber ports
always operate at 1000Mbps speed. Therefore, this parameter is not
configurable.
To configure port operation, do the following:
1. Select Device Control Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select Port Configuration and press [Enter].
3. Select the port number to configure.
4. In the Admin column, select ENABLED. You can also disable the port
due to abnormal behavior or for security reasons.
5. In the Flow Control column, select ENABLED to enable flow control
or DISABLED to disable it. When enabled, the switch uses back
pressure for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. These flow
control methods can also be set directly by selecting
BACK_PRESSURE or 802.3X.
6. In the Speed and Duplex column, select AUTO to enable Auto-
negotiation for the port, or select 1000_FULL or 1000_HALF.
If Auto-negotiation is not enabled, the duplex mode needs to
be configured.
