Configuring a Port
You can use the Web Device Manager to enable or disable a port, and
to change its speed, duplex, and priority settings.
To change port settings
1 Click Port Control under the displayed module.
2 Select the options that you want to change.
• Set Auto-negotiation: Auto-negotiation is enabled by
default. Auto-negotiation allows each end of a link to query
the other to determine a compatible mode of operation. For
example, if both links support full-duplex operation, then the
switch can determine this mode. When a link becomes active,
the switch determines the highest throughput mode of
operation between the two devices.
• State: You can configure any port as up (enabled and allowing
data to pass) or down (disabled with no data transmission or
reception). All ports are enabled by default.
• Priority: You can set the switch priority queue for packets sent
or received on this port. Click the box to select the priority
levels. The priority level ranges from seven (7), highest
priority) to zero (0), lowest priority. Higher priority frames
have precedence over lower priority or untagged frames.
3 Click Submit.
