Port Settings Configuration

Step 1. Choose L2 Switch > Port Settings using the Router Configuration Utility.

Step 2. Configure L2 switch port settings for the router:

• Port — This column displays the port numbers that are present on the device.

• Link — Displays the port duplex mode (Full or Half) and speed (10/100/1000 Mbps). 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. Down indicates that the link is down.

• Mode — Specifies the port duplex mode (Full or Half) and speed (10/100/1000 Mbps). 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. The default value is Auto Negotiation.

• Flow Control — Configures the flow control setting on the port. Check the flow control check box to enable flow control. The default is disabled.

• MaxFrame — Configures the maximum Ethernet frame size sent or received on the port. The default and maximum value is 1518.
