Port management

The Port Management page is a graphical representation of the system, providing detailed status information and allowing an easy configuration of each interface (port), as well as a more detailed view of the attached SFP modules. Besides the visual overview, the port information is also provided in a list view.

Configuration of a port is done by left-clicking on its graphical representation, thus exposing the following menu:

• Port: Shows the port number.
• Status: Displays additional information about the selected port: the current state of the port, the Tx and Rx bandwidth statistics, and the transceiver information (if present). This window also allows the port label to be changed, the port to be enabled or disabled, the port speed to be changed, and the port to be split.
• Enable/Disable: Allows the user to enable or disable a specific interface.
• Speed: Allows the user to change port speed, or to split the ports in order to use split cables.

Note: If the user wishes to change the configuration of a group of ports at the same time, this is possible using the Manage Multiple button, which allows the user to select multiple ports and change their state by choosing a new configuration from the Set Multiple Ports button.

The port list can be filtered via the filter button located at the top right corner of the list.
