| Port Settings
To display the Port Settings window, choose Configure > Port Settings. The Port Settings window provides configuration settings for the switch ports. These settings determine how the switch ports forward data to the devices to which they are connected. You can change these settings to fit your network needs. You can sort the contents in each table column either alphabetically or numerically. To sort a table column, click the column heading. To save any changes that you make in this window, click Submit. To discard any unsaved changes, click Cancel.
Port | The number of the switch port, including port type (such as Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet), the module slot number (0, 1, or 2), and the specific port number. Note: • Switch ports 1 to 10 provide internal 1000-Mbps connections to the other modules in the server chassis. • Switch ports 11 and 12 provide external 10/100/1000-Mbps connections to external devices. • Switch ports 13 to 16 provide external 10/100/1000-Mbps SFP module port connections to external devices.
Description | The description of the switch port. The limit is 18 characters.
Enabled | The state of the switch port. Check Enabled to enable the port. Uncheck Enabled to administratively (manually) shut down the port.
Speed | The operating speed of the switch port. Choose the speed from the drop-down list. You can choose Auto (autonegotiation) if the connected device can negotiate the link speed with the switch port. The default is Auto. Note: The speed on the internal ports is nonconfigurable. Note that the internal ports operate only at 1000 Mbps. Flow control does not apply to the internal ports.
Duplex | The duplex mode of the switch port. The default is Auto. Choose the duplex mode from the drop-down list: • Auto (autonegotiation) if the connected device can negotiate with the switch • Full (full duplex) if both devices can send data at the same time • Half (half duplex) if one or both devices cannot send data at the same time Note: On Gigabit Ethernet ports only, you cannot set the port to half duplex if the port speed is set to Auto. Note: The duplex mode on the internal ports is full duplex.
