Configuring Ports

To configure ports, perform the following actions:

  1. Configure port by using the Port Setting page.
  2. Enable/disable the Link Aggregation Control (LAG) protocol, and configure the potential member ports to the desired LAGs by using the LAG Management page. By default, all LAGs are empty.
  3. Configure the Ethernet parameters, such as speed and auto-negotiation for the LAGs by using the LAG Settings page.
  4. Configure the LACP parameters for the ports that are members or candidates of a dynamic LAG by using the LACP page.
  5. Configure Green Ethernet and 802.3 Energy Efficient Ethernet by using the Properties page.
  6. Configure Green Ethernet energy mode and 802.3 Energy Efficient Ethernet per port by using the Port Settings page.
  7. If PoE is supported and enabled for the switch, configure the switch as described in Managing Power-over-Ethernet Devices.
