NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2 a pause frame to stop traffic on a 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 period of time 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. For LAG interfaces, flow control mode is displayed as a blank field because flow control is not applicable. 16. Click the Apply button. The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. The following table describes the nonconfigurable information on the page. Table 17. 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. Indicates the port speed and duplex mode. Indicates whether the link is up or down. Displays the physical address of the specified interface. Displays 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). A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must participate in the same protocols. A static port channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports. Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither transmits nor receives LACPDUs. The switch supports eight LAGs. Configure Switching 95
