Chapter  Configuration Using the Web-based Utility
19 24/48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Resilient Clustering Smart Switch with 2 Combo SFPs
Unit No. The unit (switch) that you are managing. The
default is the Master unit’s number. To manage a different
unit, select its number from the drop-down menu.
Port The port number (preceded by the unit number).
For example, 2/e1 indicates Unit 2, Ethernet Port 1.
Description The user-defined port description.
Administrative Status Select Down to take the port
offline. When Up is selected, the port can be accessed
normally.
Link Status The port’s operational status. The value is
either Up (the port has an active connection) or Down
(the port has no active connection, or has been taken
offline by an administrator).
Speed The port’s configured rate in Mbps.
Duplex The port’s current duplex mode, Half or Full.
MDI/MDIX The port’s MDI/MDIX type. The MDI setting is
used if the port is connected to an end station. The MDIX
setting is used if the port is connected to a hub or another
switch.
Flow Control This is the flow control status of the port. It
is active when the port uses Full Duplex Mode.
Type Displays the port type.
LAG This indicates if the port belongs to a LAG.
Port Configuration
The Port Configuration screen lets you configure a port’s
settings. To use this screen, click Detail in the Detail
column on the Port Settings screen.
Port Management > Port Settings> Port Configuration
The Port Configuration screen contains the following fields
(“Read-only” indicates that a field cannot be edited).
Port The port number. To edit the information for
another port, select the port from the drop-down menu.
(Port numbers consist of either “e” for Ethernet, or “g” for
Gigabit, followed by the appropriate number.)
Description The user-defined port description of up to
64 characters. This field is blank by default.
Port Type (Read-only) The port’s connection type and
speed. The types are:
copper The port has a copper connection.
ComboC The Gigabit port has a copper connection.
ComboF The Gigabit port has a fiber optic
connection.
The port speed is prefixed onto the type, for example
10M-copper indicates a 10 Mbps copper connection.
Admin Status The port’s administrative status. Select
either Up or Down to enable or disable traffic forwarding
through the port.
Current Port Status (Read-only) The port’s connection
status, either Up or Down.
Reactivate Suspended Port If the port has been
suspended, select this checkbox to reactivate the port.
Operational Status (Read-only) Displays whether the
port is operational or non-operational.
Admin Speed Use this to manually set the port’s
configured transmission rate in Mbps. You can select 10M,
100M, or 1000M (Gigabit ports only). Before you change
this setting, make sure that Auto Negotiation is disabled.
Current Port Speed (Read-only) The port’s current rate
in Mbps.
Admin Duplex The port’s duplex mode, either Full or
Half.
Current Duplex Mode (Read-only) The port’s current
duplex mode.
Auto Negotiation Select Enable (default) or Disable
to enable or disable Auto-Negotiation on the port. Auto-
Negotiation allows a port to advertise its transmission rate,
duplex mode, and flow control settings to other ports. If
you are using an SFP module on a port, Auto Negotiation
for that port should be set to Disable.
Current Auto Negotiation (Read-only) The port’s current
Auto-Negotiation status.
Admin Advertisement Select the speed(s) and duplex
mode(s) that the port will advertise. The available speeds
are determined by the port type. The following capabilities
