Field

Description

 

 

Port Priority Level

The priority level of packets exiting the port or

 

ports on the module. For effective

 

transmission, multimedia packets must be

 

received isochronously (at regular intervals).

 

To ensure this, you can assign priorities to

 

packets coming out of a port.

 

Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port

 

cannot accept all incoming packets, packets

 

sent from a port with the highest priority will

 

pass through first. However, a fairness

 

mechanism will allow low priority packets to

 

eventually enter the bus.

 

Possible values are User Priority 0 .. User

 

Priority 7.

 

 

Auto Negotiation

The configured state of the Auto-Negotiation

Mode

protocol between two stations. When enabled,

 

Auto-Negotiation detects the highest common

 

denominator for communication between

 

endstations, and sets both to the same highest

 

common setting. It also delivers remote link

 

status.

 

For 10BaseT and 100BaseT ports,

 

Auto-Negotiation determines the speed and

 

Duplex Mode of communication between the

 

endstations. For Gigabit ports, Auto-

 

Negotiation determines the Flow Control

 

setting of the ports.

 

Possible values are:

 

Enable - Auto-Negotiation is enabled on

 

this port.

 

Disable - Auto-Negotiation is not

 

enabled on this port.

 

For more information, refer to Auto-Negotiation

 

in The Reference Guide.
