D-Link DGS-3630-28TC [22/742] Port status

DGS-3630 Series Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide

Parameter Description

The Master setting will allow the port to advertise capabilities related to duplex,

speed and physical layer type. The master setting will also determine the master

and slave relationship between the two connected physical layers. This

relationship is necessary for establishing the timing control between the two

physical layers. The timing control is set on a master physical layer by a local

source.

The Slave setting uses loop timing, where the timing comes from a data stream

received from the master. If one connection is set for master, the other side of the

connection must be set for slave. Any other configuration will result in a ‘link

down’ status for both ports.

Options to choose from are:

• Auto - Specifies that for copper ports, auto-negotiation will start to negotiate

the speed and flow control with its link partner. For fiber ports, auto-

negotiation will start to negotiate the clock and flow control with its link

partner.

• 10M - Specifies to force the port speed to 10 Mbps. This option is only

available for 10 Mbps copper connections.

• 100M - Specifies to force the port speed to 100 Mbps. This option is only

available for 100 Mbps copper connections.

• 1000M - Specifies to force the port speed to 1 Gbps. This option is only

available for 1 Gbps fiber connections.

• 1000M Master - Specifies to force the port speed to 1 Gbps and operates as

the master, to facilitate the timing of transmit and receive operations. This

option is only available for 1 Gbps copper connections.

• 1000M Slave - Specifies to force the port speed to 1 Gbps and operates as

the slave, to facilitate the timing of transmit and receive operations. This

option is only available for 1 Gbps copper connections.

• 10G - Specifies to force the port speed to 10 Gbps. This option is only

available for 10 Gbps fiber connections.

• 10G Master - Specifies to force the port speed to 10 Gbps and operates as

the master, to facilitate the timing of transmit and receive operations. This

option is only available for 10 Gbps copper connections.

• 10G Slave - Specifies to force the port speed to 10 Gbps and operates as

the slave, to facilitate the timing of transmit and receive operations. This

option is only available for 10 Gbps copper connections.
