Configuring VLANs

always negotiate to half-duplex, resulting in a duplex 
mismatch. This can result in a significant reduction in 
network performance. If you are unsure of how to 
configure the speed/duplex setting, simply enable 
autonegotiation for the port.
You cannot modify the speed/duplex settings of ports 
that are members of a trunk or aggregated link.
Supported SFP transceivers only operate at 1000Mbps 
full-duplex. Inserting an SFP transceiver into a gigabit 
port disables the corresponding RJ-45 port, even if no 
fiber cable is inserted.
Advanced Port Configuration
Use the Advanced Port Configuration tab to set the
Switch’s broadcast storm control and threshold limits.
A broadcast storm is an incorrect packet sent out on a 
network that causes most hosts to respond all at once, 
typically with wrong answers that start the process over 
again. Broadcast storms use substantial network 
bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.
Advanced settings include:
Broadcast Storm Control – Enables and disables 
broadcast storm control
Packet Rate Threshold – Sets the broadcast storm 
threshold. Available options include 500,1000,1500, 
5000, 10000, and 15000 bytes per packet.

Default Port Settings
If you do not configure the Switch’s port settings, the 
ports will use the following default settings:
All ports are enabled
Autonegotiation is enabled
Flow control is enabled
All ports are set to priority Standard
Configuring VLANs
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a collection of network nodes 
that share the same collision domain, regardless of their 
physical location or connection point in the network. A
