Two Categories of Port Settings

The system has two categories of port settings:

• Physical port settings -- Allows you to set up rules that guide the system's physical layer interaction (for example, enable/disable, speed, auto-negotiation).
• Switch port settings -- Allows you to specify how the port participates in switching (for example, VLAN mode, trunking).

The following sections explain some of the Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switch features and how to configure the ports:
