File Management

The File Management screen allows you to upload and download files to the Switch using TFTP.

Source File

. Specify the location of the file to transfer. Select TFTP if the file is on a TFTP server, Image if the file

is a local image file, or startup-config if the file is a local configuration file.

Destination File

. Specify where the file is to be transferred. Select TFTP if the file is to be uploaded to a TFTP

server, Image if the file is to be downloaded as a image file, startup-config if the file is a configuration file, or boot

if the file is a boot file.

File Name

. Enter the name of the file to be uploaded or downloaded.

IP Address

. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server that will transfer the file.

Port Status

This screen allows you to view the status of a port. The Port, Enable, Link Status, Spd/Dpx, and Flow Control are

displayed.

Ports 1 through 24 are ethernet RJ-45 ports and ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit RJ-45 ports, Giga1 and Giga2. Each

Gigabit port has a shared mini-Gbic port. If there is a connection to one of the mini-Gbic ports then the

corresponding Gigabit RJ-45 port cannot be used.

Port Configuration

You can use the Port Configuration or screen to enable/disable an interface, set auto-negotiation and the

interface capabilities to advertise, or manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

Enable

– Allows you to manually enable or disable an interface. You can disable an interface due to abnormal

behavior (for example, excessive collisions), and then enable it again, once the problem has been resolved. You

may also disable an interface for security reasons.

Auto-negotiation

(Port Capabilities)

– Allows auto-negotiation to be enabled/disabled. When auto-negotiation

is enabled, you need to specify the capabilities to be advertised. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you can force

the settings for speed, mode, and flow control.The following capabilities are supported.

•

10half

- Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation

•

10full

- Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation

•

100half

- Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation

•

100full

- Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation

•

1000full

(Gigabit only)- Supports 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation

(Default: Autonegotiation enabled; Advertised capabilities for 100BASE-TX – 10half, 10full, 100half,

100full; 1000BASE-T – 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full; 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH (SFP) – 1000full;

100BASE-FX (SFP) – 100full

Speed/Duplex

. Allows manual selection of port speed and duplex mode (that is, with auto-negotiation disabled).

Flow Control

. Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control.

PoE Configuration

The PoE Main Menu screen displays three menu choices: System PoE Configuration, Port PoE Status and Port PoE

Configuration.

System PoE Configuration

The Power Configuration screen allows you to set the PoE power allocation from the Switch to connected devices.

The Switch’s power management enables total Switch power and individual port power to be controlled within a

configured power budget. Port power can be automatically turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-

port power priority can be set so that the Switch never exceeds its allocated power budget. When a device is

connected to a port, its power requirements are detected by the Switch before power is supplied. If the power

required by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole Switch, power is not supplied.

Port PoE Status

The Power Port Status screen allows you to view the current PoE settings for each port on the Switch.

Ports can be set to one of three power priority levels, critical, high, or low. To control the power supply within the

Switch’s budget, ports set at critical or high priority have power enabled in preference to those ports set at low

priority. For example, when a device is connected to a port set to critical priority, the Switch supplies the required

power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a lower priority. If power is dropped to some low-priority

ports and later the power demands on the Switch fall back within its budget, the dropped power is automatically

restored.
