Figure 3-3 The Port Config screen
Choose Port
You can choose a port either by clicking on the picture or by selecting it at the “Choose Port” field.
Speed/ Duplex
Speed/ Duplex is to select the operation mode of chosen port. The options are as:
‘Auto’: Auto negotiation
‘10Mbps HD’: 10 Base-T Half Duplex
‘10Mpbs FD’: 10Base-T Full Duplex
‘100Mpbs HD’: 100Base-TX Half Duplex
‘100Mbps FD’: 100Base-TX Full Duplex
Broadcast Rate Limit
This function sets broadcast limit to the desired rate for the specified port. It controls the reception of
broadcasting packets. The ranging for Broadcast rate limit varies from 0% to 100%. The higher the rate
is, the more broadcast packets can pass through the port. Rate is the percent of the traffic to allow before
throttling. That is, if you configure this value to 10% and current connected speed is 100M, Only 10M
broadcast data can pass through the port.
Port Priority
In a tagged VLAN application, you can specify the VLAN priority to expedite the VLAN traffic. There are
8 levels of priority, namely ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’ and ‘7’ in ascending priority.
Port VLAN ID
VLAN ID is the sequence number of a VLAN. The setting of the VLAN ID depends on ‘Belongs to
VLANs’ option. Thus, you should first configure the VLAN table through “VLAN config” option and then
specify this value.
Port State
Port state is for enabling or disabling the switch operation of the chosen port. If it is ‘enabled’, the chosen
port will receive and forward the packets, and learns the respective source MAC Addresses. If it is
‘disable’, the chosen port will not receive or forward any packets or learn source MAC Addresses.
It should be noted that if the cpu port (i.e. the switch port connected to the management workstation) is
disabled, without doubt, the communication link between user and the switch will not proceed further. It
