Parameter	Default		Description
Flow Control on all	DISABLED		Allows you to enable or disable flow control for all
ports			ports on the switch.
Type			Shows port type as 1000SX (1000Base-SX)
Admin	ENABLED		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.
			You may also disable a port for security reasons.
Flow Control	DISABLED		Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow
			control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking”
			traffic from end stations or segments connected
			directly to the switch when its buffers fill. Back
			pressure is used for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x
			for full duplex.
Speed and Duplex	AUTO		Used to set the current port speed, duplex mode,
			and auto-negotiation.
