ProSAFE 8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP frame to stop traffic on the port if the amount of memory used by the packets on the port exceeds a preconfigured threshold and responds to pause requests from partner devices. The paused port does not forward packets for the time that is specified in the pause frame. When the pause frame time elapses, or the utilization returns to a specified low threshold, the switch enables the port to again transmit frames. The switch also honors incoming pause frames by temporarily halting transmission. • Asymmetric. If the port buffers become full, the switch does not send pause frames, and data loss could occur. However, the switch does honor incoming pause frames by temporarily halting transmission. Note: For LAG interfaces, flow control mode is displayed as a blank field because flow control is not applicable. 15. Click the Apply button. The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. The following table describes the nonconfigurable data that is displayed. Table 30. Port Configuration information Field Port Type Physical Status Link Status MAC Address PortList Bit Offset ifIndex Description For normal ports this field is blank. Otherwise, the possible values are as follows: • Mirrored. The port is a mirrored port on which all the traffic is copied to the probe port. • Probe. Use this port to monitor a mirrored port. • Trunk Member. The port is a member of a link aggregation trunk. Look at the LAG pages for more information. The port speed and duplex mode. Indicates whether the link is up or down. The physical address of the specified interface. The bit offset value that corresponds to the port when the MIB object type PortList is used to manage in SNMP. The ifIndex of the interface table entry associated with this port. Configure Link Aggregation Groups Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port channels, allow you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default becomes a member of the default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1). Configure Switching 128
