then to use those settings. The other options are 10M/Half, 10M/Full, 100M/Half

 

and 100M/Full, 1000M/Full_M and 1000M/Full_S. There is no automatic

 

adjustment of port settings with any option other than Auto.

 

The Switch allows the user to configure two types of gigabit connections;

 

1000M/Full_M and 1000M/Full_S. Gigabit connections are only supported in full

 

duplex connections and take on certain characteristics that are different from the

 

other choices listed.

 

The 1000M/Full_M (master) and 1000M/Full_S (slave) parameters refer to

 

connections running a 1000BASE-T cable for connection between the Switch port

 

and other device capable of a gigabit connection. The master setting

 

(1000M/Full_M) will allow the port to advertise capabilities related to duplex, speed

 

and physical layer type. The master setting will also determine the master and

 

slave relationship between the two connected physical layers. This relationship is

 

necessary for establishing the timing control between the two physical layers. The

 

timing control is set on a master physical layer by a local source. The slave setting

 

(1000M/Full_S) uses loop timing, where the timing comes form a data stream

 

received from the master. If one connection is set for 1000M/Full_M, the other

 

side of the connection must be set for 1000M/Full_S. Any other configuration will

 

result in a link down status for both ports.

 

 

Flow Control

Displays the flow control scheme used for the various port configurations. Ports

 

configured for full-duplex use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use

 

backpressure flow control, and Auto ports use an automatic selection of the two.

 

The default is Disabled.

 

 

Learning

Enable or disable MAC address learning for the selected ports. When Enabled,

 

destination and source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding

 

table. When learning is Disabled, MAC addresses must be manually entered into

 

the forwarding table. This is sometimes done for security or efficiency reasons.

 

See the section on Forwarding for information on entering MAC addresses into the

 

forwarding table. The default setting is Disabled.
