ENABLED

Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior

 

 

(e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-enable it after

 

 

the problem has been resolved. You may also disable a

 

 

port for security reasons.

 

 

 

Flow Control

DI SABLED

Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control

 

 

can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from

 

 

end stations or segments connected directly to the

 

 

switch when its buffers fill. Back pressure is used for

 

 

half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Do not

 

 

use flow control if a port is connected to a hub.

 

 

 

Speed and

AUTO

Used to set the current port speed, duplex mode, and

Duplex

 

auto-negotiation. (Auto-negotiation is not available for

 

 

100Base-FX ports.)
