Hi all,
Somebody explains me what do "switch" and "stack" interfaces displayed in port configuration menu really mean. Both of them operate in 10Mbps/Half mode by default, what if i change these values? Never tried though. Thanks.
 
The 'switch' interface can be used to change all of the ports on a switch to a given setting, the value displayed doesn't really 'do' anything unless you highlight it and press enter to configure the whole switch. I don't stack many switches but I assume the 'stack' interface you mention will do the same thing for all of the interfaces on a whole stack.

In addition to speed/duplex you'll notice there are probably options to globally enable/disable ports and set linkUp/Down traps.
