Linksys EF24G2 manual The Port Trunking Configuration Menu

Instant Gigabit®Series

The two Gigabit ports have slightly different configuration settings under this menu. There are four screens of ports (Ports 1-8 on the first screen, Ports 9- 16 on the second screen, etc.), so the Gigabit ports (Ports 25 and 26) are on the last screen by themselves (shown here).

•Link Status and Admin Status - Same as the other 24 ports. See the beginning of this section.

•Auto Negotiate - This value is automatically determined for these two ports by the Switch and cannot be changed by the user.

•Speed/Duplex - This value is automatically determined for these two ports by the Switch and cannot be changed by the user.

•Flow Control - (Off - BothWay - SendOnly - Rcv/BothWay) Flow control for the Gigabit ports is slightly more complex because of the greater speed involved. Flow control for these two ports can be disabled (Off), set to monitor both transmitting and receiving (BothWay), set to monitor just the transmitting (SendOnly), or just the receiving (Rcv/BothWay). To change the value, highlight the desired port under Flow Control and press the Space Bar key. This will toggle back and forth between the 4 different options. Once you have made your choice, press the Enter key. You will receive a message in the white status bar near the bottom of the screen that indicates whether or not the change was accepted. The default setting for this value is Off.

Once you have made all the changes you wish to make, highlight Return and hit the Enter key to return to the Main Menu.
