4. Click the Configure button. The management software displays the Edit Multiple Switch
Ports dialog box. You can refine your settings in this dialog box.
The name of the PortShield interface group will be assigned by default.
5. Click on the Port Enable list box and click on either the Enable or Disable option to either
activate or deactivate the interfaces in the PortShield interface group.
6. Click on the PortShield interface list box and click on the PortShield interface you created
in the previous procedure.
7. Click on the Link Speed list box and click on a throughput speed you want to assign the
interface. The choices are:
–
Auto negotiate
–
100Mbps Full Duplex
–
100 Mbps Half Duplex
–
10 Mbps Full Duplex
–
10 Mbps Half Duplex
Note Do not change this setting from the default of Auto negotiate unless your system requires
you to do so. Also, note that for any setting involving the Full Duplex feature to work
properly, be sure to configure Full Duplex on both ends of the link. By not having Full Duplex
configured on both ends, a duplex mismatch occurs, causing throughput loss.
8. Click OK. Wait for a few seconds. The system then will incorporate the changes you made
to the PortShield interface Group and add it back to the switch ports list.
