Figure 39 Port Administration Detail Screen
Setup
Use the Setup tab to configure the port settings. The following options are available:
■Port State – Enables and disables the port.
■Flow Control – Enables and disables flow control for the entire Switch. When flow control is enabled, the Switch regulates the packet flow so that a sending device does not transmit more packets than a receiving device can process. If flow control is disabled, packets may be dropped under certain periods of high traffic.
Flow control is disabled by default.
■Speed – Sets the speed mode of the port. Available options include auto, 10, 100, and 1000. For 1000 Mbps connections, see “Speed/Duplex for 1000 Mbps Connections” below.
Auto (or autonegotiation) sets the optimum combination of speed and duplex that can be supported by both ends of the link.
