2. To return to management interface when you already enter the upgrade screen, simply click Back.But you
cannot return to the management interface if upgrade is in process or upgrade fails.
3.3 Port Management
3.3.1 Port Configuration
1. Port Configuration
This section allows you to configure link rate, duplex mode, flow control and MAC address learning, priority and
broadcast storm control settings on each individual port as well as enable or disable a particular port. You can select
10Mbps half-duplex, 10Mbps full-duplex, 100Mbps full-duplex, 100Mbps half-duplex, 1000 full-duplex (only
available for ports 25-26) or auto-negotiation for the port to operate on. The default mode is Auto
(auto-negotiation), in which the port automatically negotiates with the link partner for optimum speed/duplex mode.
In this mode, a port communicates and negotiates automatically with linked partner to determine an optimum
speed/duplex mode. Before selecting other options than “Auto”, ensure that the linked partner is operating in the
same mode or in auto-negotiation mode; otherwise, communication may fail.
For packets not carrying 802.1Q tag, the switch uses port priority as 802.1p priority to look up in local priority
mapping table and mark a local priority for it. In case of congestions, the switch forwards packets based on their
priority levels.
Flow control regulates the rate of data transmission between two nodes to prevent a fast sender from outrunning a
slow receiver, so that the receiving node does not drop packets due to buffer overflow.
Broadcast storm control effectively prevents various broadcast storm, avoiding network congestion and ensuring a
reliable network.
With MAC address learning feature, the switch identifies MAC addresses of NICs from all nodes and register them
in its MAC address table so as to speed up forwarding frames by looking up destination MAC addresses of received
frames in its MAC address table.
How you configure each port here will affect port mirroring, port rate limit and aggregation features, etc.
1. Config Port Settings
To enter the screen below, click Port Management > Port Configuration.

19
To configure a port, select a port number from the drop-down list, say, 1.
Fields on the screenshot above are described below:
Field
Description
Select Port
Select a port number from the drop-down list that you wish to configure.
State
Enable/Disable a port. If disabled, the corresponding port will be unavailable for use.
By default this field is Enabled.
Speed/Duplex
Three types of modes are available on Ethernet ports:
Full-duplex: Ports operating in Full-duplex mode can send and receive packets
concurrently.
Half-duplex: Ports operating in Half-duplex mode can either send or receive packets at
a given time.
Auto: Auto-negotiation, ports operating in Auto-negotiation mode determine their
duplex mode by auto-negotiating with peer ports.
By default, Auto (Auto-negotiation) is enabled.
Available options for RJ45 ports 1-24 include 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex,
100M full-duplex and 100M half-duplex.
Available options for RJ45 ports 25-26 include Auto (auto-negotiation) and1000M
full-duplex
RJ45 ports 25-26 are a part of the Gigabit combo (SFP fiber/copper) ports, where fiber
ports always take priority over copper ports.
Priority
3 port priority levels are provided: High,Low and Make no change. The default
setting is Low. For packets not carrying 802.1Q tag, the switch uses port priority as
802.1p priority to look up in local priority mapping table and mark a local priority for
it. In case of congestions, the switch forwards packets based on their priority levels.
Flow Control
With flow control enabled on both the switch and its link partner, the switch, when
encountering congestion, will send flow control frames to notify the link partner of
