Parameter Definition
Name
A user-assigned name for this port (possibly a drop
name or the name of the station or other device
connected to the port).
Category
Allows you to select either User Port or Service Port.
The
User Port
is intended for use with switch
connections to end user nodes. The
Service Port
is
intended for use with switch connections to servers or
other switches.
The primary difference between the User and Service
Port designation is that a Service Port allows the switch
to generate both log messages and alarm messages
(traps). The User Port only generates log messages. This
prevents your network management station from
being overwhelmed by port up/down messages that
result from users turning workstations on and off.
