You can view both SFP and copper ports, and set up the PHY parameters for each port. The PHY parameters are used to set the abilities that are advertised to the link partner.
▶ To view PHY parameters
Access the page Port ▶ PHY.
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.
