Configure ports: Selects a range of ports to configure (press z).

State: Disables or enables ports (press z).

Speed/Duplex: Changes the speed and duplex of the port (press z). You can set the port to auto-negotiate speed, or to 100Mbps or 1000Mbps at half-duplex or full-duplex. This field is view-only for the 470F.

Flow Ctrl (Control): Enables or disables flow control (press z). This option is view-only if auto-negotiate is selected for Speed/Duplex.

Priority: Changes the settings (press z). The <Frame> setting reads the packet’s 802.1p priority tag and handles it accordingly. The <Normal> or <High > settings force the packet into one of two priority queues.

Forcing a packet into a queue does not retag the packet.
