• Re-Activate Suspended Port - Reactivates a port if the port has been suspended through the locked port security option. • Operational Status - The port operational status. Possible field values are: - Suspended - The port is currently active, and is currently not receiving or transmitting traffic. - Active - The port is currently active and is currently receiving and transmitting traffic. - Disable - The port is currently disabled, and is not currently receiving or transmitting traffic. • Admin Speed - The configured rate for the port. The port type determines what speed setting options are available. Admin speed can only be designated when auto negotiation is disabled on the configured port. • Current Port Speed - The actual currently configured port speed (bps). • Admin Duplex - The port duplex mode can be either Full or Half. Full indicates that the interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously. Half indicates that the interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only one direction at a time. • Current Duplex Mode - The currently configured port duplex mode. • Auto Negotiation - Enables Auto Negotiation on the port. Auto Negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control abilities to its partner. • Current Auto Negotiation - The currently configured Auto Negotiation setting. • Admin Advertisement - The speed that the port advertises. Options include Maximum Capacity, 10 MB Half-Duplex, 10 MB Full-Duplex, 100 MB Half-Duplex, 100 MB Full-Duplex and 1000 MB Full-Duplex. • Current Advertisement - The port advertises its speed to its neighbor port to start the negotiation process. The possible field values are those specified in teh Admin Advertisement field. • Neighbor Advertisement - Indicates the neighboring port's advertisement settings. The field values are identical to the Admin Advertisement field values. • Back Pressure - Enables Back Pressure mode on the port. Back Pressure mode is used with Half Duplex mode to disable ports from receiving messages. • Current Back Pressure - The currently configured Back Pressure setting. • Flow Control - Enables or disables flow control or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the port. Operates when port is in Full duplex mode. • Current Flow Control - The currently configured Flow Control setting. • MDI/MDIX - Allows the device to decipher between crossed and uncrossed cables.

Re-Activate Suspended Port

— Reactivates a port if the port has been suspended through the locked

port security option.

•

Operational Status

— The port operational status. Possible field values are:

–

Suspended

— The port is currently active, and is currently not receiving or transmitting traffic.

–

Active

— The port is currently active and is currently receiving and transmitting traffic.

–

Disable

— The port is currently disabled, and is not currently receiving or transmitting traffic.

•

Admin Speed

— The configured rate for the port. The port type determines what speed setting

options are available. Admin speed can only be designated when auto negotiation is disabled on the

configured port.

•

Current Port Speed

— The actual currently configured port speed (bps).

•

Admin Duplex

— The port duplex mode can be either

Full

Half

Full

indicates that the interface

supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously.

Half

indicates that the interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only one

direction at a time.

•

Current Duplex Mode

— The currently configured port duplex mode.

•

Auto Negotiation

— Enables Auto Negotiation on the port. Auto Negotiation is a protocol between

two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control

abilities to its partner.

•

Current Auto Negotiation

— The currently configured Auto Negotiation setting.

•

Admin Advertisement

— The speed that the port advertises. Options include Maximum Capacity,

10 MB Half-Duplex, 10 MB Full-Duplex, 100 MB Half-Duplex, 100 MB Full-Duplex and 1000 MB

Full-Duplex.

•

Current Advertisement

— The port advertises its speed to its neighbor port to start the negotiation

process. The possible field values are those specified in teh

Admin Advertisement

field.

•

Neighbor Advertisement

— Indicates the neighboring port’s advertisement settings. The field values

are identical to the Admin Advertisement field values.

•

Back Pressure

— Enables Back Pressure mode on the port. Back Pressure mode is used with Half

Duplex mode to disable ports from receiving messages.

•

Current Back Pressure

— The currently configured Back Pressure setting.

•

Flow Control

— Enables or disables flow control or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the

port. Operates when port is in

Full

duplex mode.

•

Current Flow Control

— The currently configured Flow Control setting.

•

MDI/MDIX

— Allows the device to decipher between crossed and uncrossed cables.
