PS-2126M-POE
Port No:
Displays the port number. The number is 1 – 26. Ports 25 and 26 may be fiber SFP modules.
Media:
Shows the media type used in all ports. Ports 25 and 26 are optional SFP modules, which
support fiber Gigabit Ethernet. Since the fiber port could be multimode or singlemode, the
information will be based on the actual media installed in the switch with reference to connector,
distance, fiber mode, etc. The module port information is displayed in Figure 5.11.
Link:
Displays an active or inactive port. If the link is connected to a working device, the link will show
that is it Up; otherwise, it will show Down. This is determined by the hardware on both devices
of the connection.
No default value.
State:
Displays the communication function of the port is Enabled or Disabled. When it is enabled,
traffic can be transmitted and received via this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be
transferred through this port. Port State is configured by the user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Negotiation:
Displays the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes supported in the switch.
They are auto-negotiation mode Enabled and forced mode Disabled. When in Enabled mode,
this function will be automatically negotiated by the hardware itself and exchange the capability
of speed and duplex mode. The best communication mode will be used. When in Disabled”
mode, both parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex, otherwise, there will be no
link. In this case, the link result is Down.
Default: Enabled
Speed / Duplex Mode:
Displays the speed and duplex mode of all ports. There are three speeds 10Mbps, 100Mbps
and 1000Mbps supported for TP media. Duplex mode is half duplex and full duplex. If the
media is 1Gbps fiber, it is 1000Mbps only. The status of speed/duplex mode is determined by:
Negotiation of both the local port and the link partner in Auto Speed mode
User setting in Force mode. The local port has to be preset according to its capability.
Ports 1-24 are supported Fast Ethernet with TP media only, so the result will be displayed as
100M/Full or 100M/Half, 10M/Full and 10M/Half duplex.
Ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit ports. If the media is 1000Mbps with TP media, the combinations
of 10/100M and Full/Half duplex, 1000Mbps full duplex will be displayed. If the media is
1000Mbps fiber, 1000M/Full duplex will be displayed.
Default: None, depends on the result of the negotiation.
Rx Pause:
RX pause determines the way that the port processes the PAUSE frame. If on is displayed, the
port will apply the PAUSE frame; otherwise, the port will ignore the PAUSE frame.
