Note

This parameter is ignored and assumed to be 1 if the line_speed parameter is set to 0.

ˆfull_duplex

This parameter is used together with line_speed to select the speed and duplex mode of the link. Note that this parameter is ignored if line_speed is 0. Choose from the following selections:

0 - half duplex

1 - full duplex (default)

ˆrx_flow_control

Enables or disables receiving flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. Choose from the following selections:

0 - pause receive disabled

1 - pause receive enabled if auto_flow_control is

set to 0, or pause receive advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 (default)

ˆtx_flow_control

Enables or disables transmitting flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. Choose from the following selections:

0 - pause transmit disabled

1 - pause transmit enabled if auto_flow_control is

set to 0, or pause transmit advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 (default)

ˆauto_flow_control

Enables or disables Auto-Negotiation of flow control. This parameter is used together with rx_flow_control and tx_flow_control to determine the advertised flow control capability. Choose from the following selections:

0 - flow control Auto-Negotiation disabled

1 - flow control Auto-Negotiation enabled with

capability specified in rx_flow_control and

tx_flow_control (only valid if line_speed is set to 0 or auto_speed is set to 1) (default)
