SRX5308 LAN Port Speed

Is it possible to change LAN port link speed? If so how?

Thanks

  • Do you mean to hardcode the link speed to either 1000Mbps or 100Mbps or 10Mbps??? If yes, I believe there is no option for it to change it. The LAN port will just autosense the link connection. For example, if you want a Gigabit connection to your PC then make sure your PC is capable of it and use CAT5e or CAT6 ethernet cables.
  • I don't believe this is possible. I have not seen any options on the UI or it being mentioned on the manual. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
  • Thanks for confirming this. i don't really see the point of being able to do this as autosense works perfectly well, it was requested by an external provider, the fact that the link we're incorperating has absolutely no problems with either speed or reliabilty seems to have passed him by. go figure.

    thanks again
