Changing Port Speeds
The 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at
1-Gbps or 2-Gbps. The ports can be configured for either transmission speed or to
sense the transmission speed of the device to which it is connected.
Table 5-8
describes the port speeds. To change the port speed, do the following:
1. Select one or more 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps ports in the faceplate display.
2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties.
3. Click the Port Speed radio button you want.
4. Click the OK button to write the new port speed to the switch.
