| 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.
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 You cannot configure the speed setting on the 10-Gigabit module 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. You cannot configure the speed setting on the 10-Gigabit module ports.
PoE | Whether inline power will be supplied to a connected device. Choose auto or never from the drop-down list. Note This status is available only from Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.
