# Changing Port Modes

The ports on SANbox2 and SANbox2-64 switches support both public and private devices as single devices or in loops. The ports can be configured to self-discover the proper mode to match the device or switch to which it is connected. To change the port modes, do the following:

1. Open the SANbox2 or SANbox2-64 faceplate display and select one or more ports.

2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog.

3. Click the Port Modes radio button that corresponds to the port mode you want.

4. Click the OK button to write the new port mode to the switch.
