•Sym  (Gigabit only)  Check this item to transmit and receive pause frames, or clear it to autonegotiate the sender and receiver for asymmetric pause frames..

Flow Control  Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control..

Port Broadcast Control

Status  To enable broadcast control on a specified port, mark the Enabled checkbox for that port..

Threshold  You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for all ports.. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped..

After you modify the required port settings, click Apply..

Port Management > Link Aggregation

You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate link (LAG).. An aggregated link offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two devices.. You can create up to four LAGs on the Switch.. Each LAG can contain up to eight ports..

Port Management > Link Aggregation

LAG  Displays the LAG number..

Description  Displays the description assigned to the interface..

Administrative Status  Indicates whether the interface is enabled or disabled..

Type  Indicates if a LAG has been manually configured (static) or dynamically set through LACP..

Link Status  Displays the status of the link.. Speed  Displays the port speed..

Duplex  Displays the duplex mode.. Flow Control  Displays the flow control..

Create  To create a new LAG, click the Create button in the Create column, then add members to the LAG by clicking on the Select Member button.. The select member screen for the Link Aggregation opens..

Port Management > Link Aggregation > Select Member

The LAG number is shown in the LAG drop-down menu.. The Ethernet ports are represented by check boxes.. Assign up to 8 ports to the LAG by checking the checkboxes of the ports, then click Apply..

Detail  To configure the LAG and the LAG broadcast control, click the Detail button.. The Link Aggregation detail screen will be displayed..
