Field

Port Name

Table 14. Port Configuration Fields - General Tab

Description

The user can define a logical name to the port for ease of use.

Port Type

Port Functionality

Administrative Status

LAG Name

The port type; optionally includes reference to the module to which it is attached and port connector type.

The physical media type of the selected port. If the port conforms to a certain standard

(Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard, Private is displayed.

The administrative state of the selected port:

•

Enabled

- The port is enabled and can transmit and receive packets.

•

Disabled

- The port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive packets.

The name of the LAG of which the port is a member. If the port is not a member of a LAG, the LAG Name is not in LAG.

Tagging Mode

VLAN ID

The port’s operation mode regarding VLANs.

The possible modes are:

•

Clear

- Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it belongs to the port’s

VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.

•

IEEE-802.1Q

- VLAN tagging, per IEEE

802.1Q VLAN standard. The port will transmit frames with a VLAN ID of 1 -

3071.

The VLAN number of the port.

Field

Port Priority Level

Auto Negotiation Mode

Description

The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module. For effective transmission, multimedia packets must be received isochronously (at regular intervals).

To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets coming out of a port.

Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all incoming packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority will pass through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low priority packets to eventually enter the bus.

Possible values are:

• Regular

• High

The configured state of the Auto-Negotiation protocol between two stations. When enabled,

Auto-Negotiation detects the highest common denominator for communication between endstations, and sets both to the same highest common setting. It also delivers remote link status.

For 10BaseT and 100BaseT ports,

Auto-Negotiation determines the speed and

Duplex Mode of communication between the endstations. For Gigabit ports, Auto-

Negotiation determines the Flow Control setting of the ports.

For more information, refer to Auto-Negotiation in The Reference Guide.

Field Description

Auto Negotiation

Status

The operational state of the Auto-Negotiation protocol between two stations. Possible statuses are:

•

Pass

- The Auto-Negotiation protocol is enabled and a common protocol has been established.

•

In progress

- The Auto-Negotiation protocol is in the process of detecting the communication capabilities of the endstations and setting them to the highest common denominator.

•

Fail

- The Auto-Negotiation protocol was not able to detect the communication capabilities of the end station, or was unable to set them to the highest common denominator.

•

Disabled

- The Auto-Negotiation protocol is disabled.

Duplex Mode

Speed Mode

Flow Control Mode

Operational Status

Fault Messages

The state of communication of the selected port. Possible values are:

•

Full Duplex

- The port can send and receive simultaneously.

•

Half Duplex

- The port can either receive or send, but can not do both simultaneously.

The speed of communication of the selected port. Possible values are:

•

Ethernet

- 10 Mbps.

•

Fast Ethernet

- 100 Mbps.

•

Gigabit Ethernet

- 1000 Mbps.

The state of flow control on the selected port.

The warning level of the selected port.

Possible values are:

• OK

• Warning

• Fatal
