Configuring general port settings

Using the GUI:

1. Go to Switch > Port > Physical.
2. Select the port to update and then select Edit.
3. Enter an optional description of the port in the Description field.
4. Select Up or Down for the Administrative Status.
5. Select Update to save your changes.

Using the CLI:

config switch physical-port

edit <port_name>

set status {up | down}

set description <string>

set max-frame-size <bytes_int>

end

General port settings include:

• status—Administrative status of the port
• description—Text description for the port
• max-frame-size—Maximum frame size in bytes (between 68 and 9216)

NOTE: For the eight models in the FS-1xxE series, the max-frame-size command is under the config switch global command.
