Two Categories of Port Settings
The system has two categories of port settings:

Physical port settings — Allows you to set up rules that guide the
system’s physical layer interaction (for example, enable/disable,
speed, auto-negotiation).
■
Switch port settings — Allows you to specify how the port
participates in switching (for example, VLAN mode, trunking).
