6.2 ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION SCREEN
When to Use
To display the link status and current operating mode of each Ethernet port. This screen also
provides access to the Ethernet Port Configuration screen, which allows configuration of the
Ethernet port.
In normal operation, all front panel ports of the switch module automatically establish a link with
the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. However, the Ethernet
Interface Configuration screen can be used to access the Ethernet Port Configuration screen to
select a port and display its characteristics. The Ethernet Port Configuration screen is used to
change the operating mode of the port and enable or disable the advertisement to another device.
