Enterasys Networks 700 - Manual (Page 53)

Managing the Module 2-33
The MultiSwitch 700 Device View
From this window you can manually set the operational mode of the port, or —
for 100Base-TX interfaces — set the port to Auto-Negotiation so that the
appropriate operational mode can be determined automatically. The mode you
set will determine the speed of the port and whether it uses Full Duplex or
Standard Mode bridging.
The window displays the following information about the selected Fast Ethernet
port:
Port Type
Displays the port’s type: 100Base-TX RJ-45 (for built-in Fast Ethernet ports and
the DELTX-UI Fast Ethernet port interface module), 100Base-FX MMF SC
Connector (for the DELFX-UI Fast Ethernet port interface module), or Unknown
(for a port slot with no module installed).
Link State
Displays the current connection status of the selected port: Link or No Link.
Current Operational Mode
Indicates which of the available operational modes is currently in effect: 10Base-T,
10Base-T Full Duplex, 100Base-TX, 100Base-TX Full Duplex, 100Base-FX, or
100Base-FX Full Duplex. If the port is still initializing, not linked, or if there is no
port module installed in the slot, this field will remain blank.
Desired Operational Mode
Displays the operational mode that you have selected for this port, and allows
you to change that selection. The following operational modes are available for
each port:
100Base-TX Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10BASE-T Full Duplex, 100Base-TX,
and 100Base-TX Full Duplex.
100Base-FX 100Base-FX and 100Base-FX Full Duplex
TIP
If you select the Configuration option available for a standard Ethernet or FDDI interface
or for a Fast Ethernet port on a second generation module, an entirely different window
displays; see
Configuring Standard Ethernet and FDDI Ports , on page 2-30 , or
Configuring Ethernet Ports on Second Generation Modules , on page 2-36 , for
information on configuring these ports.
