2-24Configuring Port Parameters

Use the Port Configuration menus to set or display communication parameters for

any port on the switch.

Note: If you experience problems establishing a port link using auto-negotiation, try
forcing the setting of the port to 1000_FULL or 1000_HALF.

Parameter Default Description
Flow Control mode of all
ports
DISABLED Allows you to enable or disable flow control for all ports
on the switch.
Type Shows port type as 1000SX (1000BASE-SX)
Admin ENABLED Allows you to dis able 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.
