Port Management Port Settings 2 be configured when auto negotiation is disabled. The possible field values are: - 10 - Indicates the port is currently configured at 10 Mbps. - 100 - Indicates the port is currently configured at 100 Mbps. - 1000 - Indicates the port is currently configured at 1000 Mbps. • Duplex - Displays 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. The Duplex Mode field is configurable only when auto negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. The Duplex Mode field cannot be configured on LAGs. • MDI / MDIX - Displays the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) / Media Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX) status on the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired the opposite of the way end stations are wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other, or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are: - MDIX - Use for hubs and switches. - MDI - Use for end stations. • Flow Control - Displays the flow control status on the port. Operates when the port is in full duplex mode. • Port Type - Displays the port type. The possible field values are: - Copper - Indicates the port has a copper port connection and displays the copper speed. - Fiber - Indicates the port has a fiber optic port connection. • LAG - Indicates in which LAG the port is a member. The Detail button displays the Port Configuration window. Cisco Small Business SLM Series Smart Switches Administration Guide 14

be configured when auto negotiation is disabled. The possible field values
are:
-
10
— Indicates the port is currently configured at 10 Mbps.
-
100
— Indicates the port is currently configured at 100 Mbps.
-
1000
— Indicates the port is currently configured at 1000 Mbps.
•
Duplex
— Displays 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. The Duplex Mode field is configurable only when
auto negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. The
Duplex Mode field cannot be configured on LAGs.
•
MDI / MDIX
— Displays the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) / Media
Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX) status on the port. Hubs and
switches are deliberately wired the opposite of the way end stations are
wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a
straight through Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up
properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other, or two
end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to
ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
-
MDIX
— Use for hubs and switches.
-
MDI
— Use for end stations.
•
Flow Control
— Displays the flow control status on the port. Operates when
the port is in full duplex mode.
•
Port Type
— Displays the port type. The possible field values are:
-
Copper
— Indicates the port has a copper port connection and displays
the copper speed.
-
Fiber —
Indicates the port has a fiber optic port connection.
•
LAG
— Indicates in which LAG the port is a member.
