Configuring PortShield Interfaces
6. Click on the Link Speed list box and click on a transmission and receiving 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
The link speed value indicates the transmission rate at which the device sends and receives packets
to and from a sending device. The duplex variable indicates whether the connection between the
SonicWALL PRO 1260 and the sending device allows concurrent transmissions from both devices.
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.
7. Click on the Rate Limit option and click on a value. The rate limit value enables you to throttle
traffic coming into the switch. Remember, these values apply to inbound traffic only. The rate limit
choices are:
–
64 Kbps
–
128 Kbps
–
256 Kbps
–
512 Kbps
–
1 Mbps
–
4 Mbps
–
10 Mbps
–
20 Mbps
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.
