second Port Configurations window
Select the port(s) you want to configure by using the drop-down menus in the Port and Configure Ports from __ to fields.
Follow these steps:
1. Enable or disable the port. If you choose
Disabled
in the State field, devices connected to that port cannot use the
switch, and the switch purges their addresses from its address table after the MAC address aging time elapses.
2. Configure the Speed/Duplex setting for the twenty 10/100/1000 ports. Select
Auto
to allow the port to select the best
transmission speed, duplex mode, and flow control settings based on the capabilities of the device at the other end.
The other selections allow you to force the port to operate in the specified manner. Select
1000M/Full
for port
operation at 1000 Mbps and full duplex. Select
100M/Half
for port operation at 100 Mbps and half duplex Select
100M/Full
for port operation at 100 Mbps and full duplex. Select
100M/Half
for port operation at 100 Mbps and half
duplex. Select
10M/Full
for port operation at 10 Mbps and full duplex. Select
10M/Half
for port operation at 10 Mbps
and half duplex. For 1000BASE-T ports, if
1000M/Full_M
is selected on one end of the link pair, then
1000M/Full_S
must be selected on the other end of your D-Link switch, and vice versa. For 1000M connections to switches that do
not possess master/slave capability, the port speed must be set to
1000/Full
. Any other configuration will result in a
link down status for both ports. The four mini-GBIC ports are
1000M/Full
only.
3. Configure the Flow Control setting for the port. Selecting
Enabled
in full-duplex mode will implement IEEE 802.3x
flow control. Select
Disabled
for no flow control. Also, if the port is set for
Auto
(NWay) in the speed/duplex field
above and flow control is enabled, flow control (whether full- or half-duplex) will only be implemented if the other
device can auto-negotiate flow control.
4. Enable or disable Address Learning.
5. Click
Apply
to let your changes take effect.
CAUTION:
For 1000BASE-T ports, the
master
and
slave
parameters refer to connections
running a 1000BASE-T cable for connection between the switch port and another device
capable of a gigabit connection. If one connection is set for
1000 master
, the other side of the
connection must be set for
1000 slave,
for devices with
master/slave
capability. For connection
to a device without this capability, the port speed must be set to
1000/full
on the switch
connected to the DGS-3224TGR. Any other configuration will result in a link down status for both
ports.
