EtherFast® Layer 3 Management 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Port Configuration

The Port Configuration screen lets you display or set communication parameters for any port on the Switch, including administrative status, auto- negotiation, default communication speed and duplex mode, as well as flow control in use.

•Port (#) - Number of the port.

•Link Status - Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.

•Admin Status - Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-enable it after the problem has been resolved.

•Auto Negotiate - Enables or disables auto-negotiation for port speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

•Default Type - If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port will be set to the indicated speed and duplex mode.

•Current Type - Indicates the current speed and duplex mode of each port.

Port Configuration

•Flow Control - Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or segments
