Configuring the Switch Modules using the Web-based Interface
— Backpressure— Select Enabled or Disabled to initiate or terminate backpressure
flow control in and out of the switch module. When backpressure is enabled and
there is incoming traffic congestion on a 10/100 port, the receiving port sends a
request to the transmitting port. The transmitting port acknowledges the request and
stops sending packets for a random amount of time, before it starts sending again.
— SNTP—Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the system to get the
accurate time through the network. When SNTP is enabled, the interconnect switch
sends a request to a primary SNTP server in each period of a specified polling
interval asking for the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If the primary SNTP server is
not available, the request is sent to a secondary SNTP server. For additional
information, refer to the “Configuring Switch Module Date and Time” section later in
this chapter.
2. After making your choices in Advanced Settings, click Apply.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, they must be entered into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving
Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
Configuring Port Settings
This section describes how to configure the following port settings: port name, state,
speed/duplex, and flow control. Refer to the “Configuring Port Security” section later in this
chapter for information on how to set the port security parameters.
The speed-duplex parameter for each port can be set to 1000M/Full, 100M/Full, 100M/Half,
10M/Full, 10M/Half, or Auto. The Auto setting allows the port to automatically determine
the fastest settings that the device the port is connected to can handle.
IMPORTANT: In the forced 100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, and 10M/Half modes, auto MDI-X is
disabled and a cross-over cable must be used.
