3-34Port Configuration

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

Parameter Default Description

Flow Control Mode DISABLED Allows you to enable or disable flow control for all ports

on the switch.

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 Status Auto-Negotiation Used to set the current port duplex mode or

auto-negotiation. The default is auto-negotiation.

Flow Control status 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. Note that flow

control should not be used if a port is connected to a

hub.
