A list of PHY configuration and status for all ports is displayed.(Optional) To limit the view to only certain PHY configurations, enter a value on which to filter, then click Search. You can filter by the port name, connector type, whether or not auto-negotiation is enabled, or the port's auto-negotiation state.
Note: Enter an asterisk ( * ) as a wildcard to replace one or several characters.
For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.
