Head of Line Blocking Prevention
Head of Line (HOL) blocking results in traffic delays and frame loss caused by traffic competing for the same egress port resources. To prevent HOL blocking the device queues packets, and the packets at the head of the queue are forwarded before packets at the end of the queue.
Flow Control Support (IEEE 802.3X)
Flow control enables lower speed devices to communicate with higher speed devices, by requesting that the higher speed device refrains from sending packets. Transmissions are temporarily halted to prevent buffer overflows.
For information on configuring Flow Control for ports or LAGs, see "Defining Port Configuration" or "Defining LAG Parameters."

Virtual Cable Testing (VCT)
VCT detects and reports copper link cabling occurrences such as open cables and cable shorts. For more information on testing cables, see "Running Cable Diagnostics".
MDI/MDIX Support
The device automatically detects whether the cable connected to an
Standard wiring for end stations is
