Field
Description
Unit
Indicates where the port resides:
• Base (for example, 1783-MS10T).
• Expansion module (for example, 1783-MX08T).
Port
Indicates the port selected for configuration.
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.
Smartport
Choose the Smartport role to apply to the connected port.
The Smartport roles are recommended configurations for the ports. These configurations are referred to as port roles. They optimize the switch connections
and ensure security, transmission quality, and reliability to traffic from the switch ports. These configurations also prevent many problems caused by port
misconfigurations.
The port roles are based on the type of device that is connected to the switch port. Make sure you decide which port to connect to which type of device before
you choose the Smartport:
• Automation Device—Apply this role to ports to be connected to EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) devices. It can be used for industrial
automation devices, such as logic controllers and I/O:
– Port is set to Access mode.
– Port security supports only one MAC ID.
– Optimize queue management for CIP traffic.
• Automation Device with QoS—Apply this role to ports to devices that are generating 802.1Q tagged frames (not typically used):
– Port is set to Trunk mode (supports 802.1Q Tagged Frames).
– Portfast enabled.
– Port security supports only one MAC ID.
• Desktop for Automation—Apply this role to ports to be connected to desktop devices, such as desktop computers, workstations, notebook computers,
and other client-based hosts:
– Port is set to Access mode.
– Portfast enabled.
– Port security supports only one MAC ID.
– Do not apply to ports to be connected to switches, routers, or access points.
• Switch for Automation—Apply this role to ports to be connected to other switches.
– Port is set to Trunk mode.
– Portfast enabled.
• Router for Automation—Apply this role to routers or ports to be connected to Layer 3 switches with routing services enabled.
• Phone for Automation—Apply this role to ports to be connected to IP phones. A desktop device, such as a computer, can be connected to the IP phone.
Both the IP phone and the connected computer have network access through the port:
– Port is set to Trunk mode.
– Port security supports three MAC IDs to this port.
– This role prioritizes voice traffic over general data traffic to ensure clear voice reception on the IP phones.
• Wireless For Automation—Apply this role to ports to be connected to wireless access points. The access point can provide network access to up to 30
mobile (wireless) users.
• Port Mirroring—Apply this role to ports to be monitored by a network analyzer. For more information about port mirroring, see
• None—Apply this role to ports if you do not want a specialized Smartports role on the port. This role can be used on connections to any device, including
devices in the roles described above.
VLAN Type and ID
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a logical segment of network users and resources grouped by function, team, or application. This segmentation is
without regard to the physical location of the users and resources. You can choose a VLAN (native, access or voice) from a list read from the switch. Only the
first 128 VLANs are listed:
• Native—Represents the valid Native VLAN ID for ports set to the Router for Automation and Switch for Automation role. A native VLAN is for ports that
can belong to a VLAN trunk (a port belonging to more than one VLAN).
The Native VLAN feature is blank when Smart Port is set to any value other than Switch for Automation and Router for Automation, and in Offline mode.
• Access—Represents the valid Access VLAN ID for ports set to Automation Device, Desktop for Automation, Phone for Automation for Automation,
Wireless, and Automation Device with QoS role. An access VLAN is for ports that can belong to only one VLAN.
The Access VLAN feature is blank when Smart Port is set to Switch for Automation and Router for Automation, and in Offline mode.
• Voice—Represents the valid Voice VLAN ID for ports set to the Phone for Automation role. The voice VLAN ensures that all voice traffic has better quality
of service and is not mixed with data traffic.
The Voice VLAN feature is blank when Smart Port is set to any value other than Phone for Automation, and in Offline mode.
Authorized Device
MAC ID
Type the MAC address of the device that is connected to the port. The MAC address is also known as Ethernet address, physical address, or hardware address.
Each node on the network has is a unique MAC address assigned to it. The MAC ID is six hexadecimal numbers, such as 00-00-BC-22-A0-D8.
You can authorize only a specific MAC address to communicate on this port. If other MAC addresses communicate on that port, they are blocked. This feature
must not be set for ports connected to other switches or routers. The Authorized Device MAC ID feature is blank in Offline mode.
