Accton Technology 4508, CheetahSwitch Workgroup 3-27, Port Configuration

Management Guide

3-27

Parameter Description

Admin Status Shows if the port is enabled or not.

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

Speed Status Indicates that the port is connected at 1000 Mbps..

Duplex Status Indicates that the port is connected at full duplex.

Flow Control Status Shows if flow control is in use. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by

“blocking” traffic from end stations connected directly to the switch. Standard

IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control is used.

Port Configuration

Use the Port Configuration menus to configure any port on the switch.

Parameter Default Description

Admin Status Enable 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.

Duplex Mode 1000M-Full-Duplex Used to set the duplex mode to full duplex or auto-negotiation. The

default for all ports is to force full-duplex.

Flow Control Enable 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. Standard IEEE

802.3x full-duplex flow control is used.
