Port Configuration Port configuration 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 is not displayed if you are offline.
Table 32 - Port Configuration Tab Fields
Field Description
Port The port selected for configuration. The port number includes the port type (Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet) and the specific port
number.
EXAMPLE: Gi1/1 is Gigabit Ethernet port 1.
Enable Check the checkbox to enable the port.
Clear the checkbox to manually disable (shut down) the port.
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.
Auto-negotiate Check the checkbox if you want the port and end-device to auto-negotiate the link speed and Duplex mode.
Clear the checkbox to manually specify the desired port speed and Duplex mode.
We recommend that you use the default (auto-negotiate) so that the speed and duplex settings on the switch port automatically match the setting on
the connected device. Change the switch port speed and duplex if the connected device requires a specific speed and duplex. If you set the speed and
duplex for the switch port, the connected device must also be configured for the exact same speed and duplex, and not set to auto-negotiate,
otherwise a speed/duplex mismatch occurs.
Fiber optic interfaces do not support auto-negotiation.
Speed Choose the operating speed of the port.
Gigabit (Gi):
• 10 Mbps
• 100 Mbps
• 1 Gbps
Fast Ethernet (Fa):
• 10 Mbps
• 100 Mbps
Duplex Choose one of these Duplex modes:
• Half-duplex—Both devices cannot send data at the same time. Half-duplex is not available when speed is set to 1 Gbps.
• Full-duplex—Both devices can send data at the same time.
