Link Status | Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device. |
Speed Status | Shows the port speed (1000M). |
Duplex Status | Displays the current duplex mode. |
Flow Control Status | Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can eliminate |
| frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations connected |
| directly to the switch. Back pressure is used for half duplex and |
| IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. |
802.1Q Trunk | Shows the VLAN trunk status for the port. A VLAN Trunk link |
Status | between two |
| VLANs, allowing VLAN tagged frames to maintain their VLAN |
| ID across multiple switches. When enabled, a port joins all |
| configured VLANs and the untagged port VLAN ID (PVID) is set |
| to 4000, a reserved VLAN ID for trunk ports. |
