HP manual 85

Item	Description
	Enable or disable flow control on the port.
	With flow control enabled at both sides, when traffic congestion occurs on the ingress
Flow Control	port, the ingress port sends a Pause frame notifying the egress port to temporarily suspend
	the sending of packets. The egress port is expected to stop sending any new packet when
	it receives the Pause frame. In this way, flow control helps to avoid dropping of packets.
	Flow control works only after it is enabled on both the ingress and egress ports.
	Enable or disable auto power-down on a port that is down.
	By default, auto power-down is disabled on an Ethernet port that is down.
	With auto power-down enabled on an Ethernet port that stays in the down state for a
	certain period, the following events occur:
Power Save	• The device automatically stops supplying power to the port.
	• The port enters the power save mode.
	When the Ethernet port comes up, the following events occur:
	• The device automatically restores power supply to the port.
	• The port resumes its normal state.
	Set the MAC learning limit on the port:
Max MAC Count	• User Defined—Select this option to set the limit manually.
	• No Limited—Select this option to set no limit.
	Enable or disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on a link-up port.
EEE	With EEE enabled, when a link-up Ethernet port does not receive any packet for a certain
	period, it automatically enters low power mode. When a packet arrives later, the device
	restores power supply to the port and the port resumes its normal state.
	Set broadcast suppression on the port:
	• ratio—Sets the maximum percentage of broadcast traffic to the total bandwidth of an
	Ethernet port. When you select this option, you must enter a percentage in the box
	below.
Broadcast	• pps—Sets the maximum number of broadcast packets that can be forwarded on an
Suppression	Ethernet port per second. When you select this option, you must enter a number in the
	box below.
	• kbps—Sets the maximum number of kilobits of broadcast traffic that can be forwarded
	on an Ethernet port per second. When you select this option, you must enter a number
	in the box below.
	Set multicast suppression on the port:
	• ratio—Sets the maximum percentage of multicast traffic to the total bandwidth of an
	Ethernet port. When you select this option, you must enter a percentage in the box
	below.
Multicast	• pps—Sets the maximum number of multicast packets that can be forwarded on an
Suppression	Ethernet port per second. When you select this option, you must enter a number in the
	box below.
	• kbps—Sets the maximum number of kilobits of multicast traffic that can be forwarded
	on an Ethernet port per second. When you select this option, you must enter a number
	in the box below.
