Switching
You can use the Switching Pages to configure port operation and capabilities.
Port Configuration
Use the Port Configuration page to view and configure the Admin mode and link speed setting for each
port on the switch. It is also used to display the link status and physical type of each switch port.
The Admin mode is enabled by default and the default link speed is set to auto so that the duplex mode
and speed is set by the auto-negotiation process, and the port's maximum capability (full duplex and
1000 Mbps in the case of Gigabit ports) is advertised.
When the mini GBIC fiber transceivers are used, the link speed can be configured as 100/1000Mbps
Full-Duplex depending on the transceiver capability.
Auto Detect and Configure Fiber Modules
The auto detect and configure feature detects the type of fiber module inserted in a fiber port and
automatically configures it with the appropriate settings. When a fiber module is inserted or changed,
the link speed menu shows the available speed options.
To display the Port Configuration page, click Switching > Port Configuration in the navigation pane.
Figure 4-1. Port Configuration Page
Note The display and the content of this page changes based on the physical port selected. For example, if
the selected port is an optional copper/fiber port and fiber is being used, then the Link Speed selections
will display only valid options for that port.
