Selecting the required Port Attribute
To edit the attribute of a selected port, use the <tab> key to move the cursor in the action line
to the <edit> mode. Then press the <enter> key and the cursor will highlight the Enable
status of Port 1. Use the <tab> key to navigate to the required port attribute and then use the
<spacebar> key to toggle the values of that attribute. Use the <backspace> key to move to
the previous port attributes. Ensure that port configurations are saved by selecting the
<apply> in the action line.
Port State
This allows the port to be enabled or disabled by management. The default is enabled
allowing packets to be transmitted and received.
Port Negotiation
This allows the ports to be configured for Auto or Force. If configured for ‘Auto’ the port will
auto-negotiate speed and duplex with the its connected neighbour’s port. If configured for
‘Force’ then the port is set to speed and duplex as defined in the speed/duplex attribute. The
default is Auto.
Port Speed/Duplex
This controls the speed and duplex capability of a port. If negotiation is ‘Auto’ then the port will
advertise to the neighbour port its capability and will try and negotiate this capability. If
negotiation is set to ‘Force’ the speed and duplex are fixed.
