Configuring Interface Connections

You can use the Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration page to enable/disable
an interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to advertise, or
manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

Command Attributes
Name – Allows you to label an interface. (Range: 1-64 characters)
Admin – Allows you to manually disable an interface. You can disable an
interface due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then reenable
it after the problem has been resolved. You may also disable an interface for
security reasons.
