Configure Port Transmission Settings

Tip

Tip

These settings appear in the QoS section of the Summary tab.

Use this task to configure the settings for a new port, on the Transmission Settings tab.

  1. Type the maximum transmission unit value for MTU Settings, to define the largest packet size that can be transmitted through your system.
  2. For Flow Control, select how to manage the receive transmission speed, which enables a feedback mechanism between a transmitting port and the receiving port on the switch.
  3. For Transmission Type, select Auto, Half-Duplex, or Full-Duplex.
    Auto causes the switch to negotiate the best possible duplex mode possible with the connected device. Full-Duplex forces the switch to communicate with the connected device using full-duplex communication. Half-Duplex forces the switch to use half-duplex communication.
  4. Select the Speed the switch port uses to communicate with the connected device.
  5. Select LLDP Transmit to enable the switch to transmit LLDPDU frames.
  6. Select LLDP Receive to enable the switch to receive LLDPDU frames.
  7. Select Client Reporting to display learned switch port client MAC addresses on ExtremeCloud IQ monitoring screens.
    When client reporting is disabled, client MAC addresses are not displayed. It is disabled when CDP Receive is turned off.
  8. Select the NEXT, or select the STP tab, and continue configuring the port.
