Port Configuration
Properties

Configure basic switch port settings on the Port Configuration tab. These
settings determine how data is received and sent between the switch and the
attached device.

You must be online to configure the port features. Most of the information on
this tab does not appear if you are offline.

Unit

Base (for example, 1783-MS10T).
Expansion module (for example, 1783-MX08T).

The port number includes the port type (Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet), the base or expansion module number (1, 2, or 3), and the

specific port number such as in the following examples:
Gi1/1 is Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on the base.
Fa2/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the first expansion module.

We recommend that you disable the port if the port is not in use and is not attached to a device. You can troubleshoot a suspected unauthorized

connection by manually disabling the port.
