card (middle slot) and an 8-port 10/100BaseTX card (right slot). The leftmost slot
contains the Power/CPU card, which is present on all RedFox Industrial switches.
RedFox Industrial makes use of a slotted architecture with different combinations
of interface modules. As mentioned above WeOS numbers the ports based on
slotID/portID, where the
❼ the slotID denotes the slot’s position within the rack (left to right), and
❼ the portID denotes the port’s position within the slot (left to right, up to
down).
For example, the three Ethernet ports in the leftmost slot (slot 1) are named 1/1
(top), 1/2 (middle). and 1/3 (bottom). The ports in the second slot are named
2/1-2/4 (left side) and 2/5-2/8 (right side), and ports in slot 3 are named 3/1-3/4
(left side) and 3/5-3/8 (right side).
8.1.2 Port speed and duplex modes
By default ports are configured to auto-negotiate speed (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) and
duplex modes (half/full) to the ”best” common mode when a link comes up. When
configured for auto-negotiation, the resulting speed and duplex mode agreed is
shown as part of the port status information.
It is possible to disable auto-negotiation and instead use a static speed and du-
plex mode setting. When using a static speed and duplex setting, the operator
should ensure that the ports on both ends of the link are configured with the
same static speed and duplex settings.
Depending on Ethernet port type, the available port speeds will differ:
❼ Fast Ethernet copper ports: Fast Ethernet copper ports are capable to oper-
ate at 10 or 100 Mbit/s.
❼ Gigabit Ethernet copper ports: Gigabit Ethernet copper ports are capable to
operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s.
❼ Gigabit Ethernet fibre ports: Gigabit Ethernet fibre ports are capable to op-
erate at 1000 Mbit/s.
