Two Categories of Port Parameters

The system has two categories of port settings:

■

Physical port parameters — Allows you to set up rules
that guide the system’s physical layer interaction (for
example, enable/disable, speed, auto-negotiation).

■

Switch port parameters — Allows you to specify how the
port participates in switching (for example, VLAN mode,
trunking).

The following sections explain some of the Avaya P550R/P580/
P880/P882 Multiservice switch features and how to configure the
ports.
