  103

Use this window to configure external port settings.

Some types of ports are pre-set for speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation. For these 

ports, settings are displayed but cannot be configured on this window.

External Port Settings Fields

Port

Displays the port number. This field is non-configurable.
Note: If the switch is part of a multi-switch stack, the displayed number indicates 
the Configured Switch number (

csnum

) followed by the port number. See 

 for details.

Group

Displays the current VSG for the port. To configure the VSG, see 

Name

Set the port name which appears on information and statistics displays.

Status

Set the operational status of the port: enable or disable.

Speed

Select the proper speed setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG 
must have the same setting.

Duplex

Select the proper duplex setting for the port. All external ports in the same VSG 
must have the same setting.

Auto Negotiation

Select the proper auto-negotiation setting for the port. All external ports in the 
same VSG must have the same setting.

Flow Control

Select the flow control setting (rx, tx, both, none).

PVID

Select the Port VLAN Identifier (PVID). If a PVID is configured, when untagged 
traffic ingresses on the port, the configured VLAN tag will be automatically 
added. Upon egress, if the PVID of the egress port matches the packets’s tag, the 
tag will be stripped from the packet.

ErrDisable Recov-
ery

Enables or disables automatic recovery for the port when it becomes error-dis-
abled. An error-disabled port is re-enabled by the switch only if this port setting 
is enabled and the global ErrDisable Recovery setting is also enabled (see 

).

DSCP Remarking

Enable or disable DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) remarking for the port (see 

).
