Port Information
The Port Information screen displays the port status, link state, the communication speed and duplex mode, as well as the flow control in use. To change any of the port settings, use the Port Configuration menu. The parameters are shown in the following figure and table.
Parameter | Description |
Admin Status | Shows if the port is enabled or not. |
Link Status | Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external |
| device. |
Speed Status | Shows the port speed (10M, 100M or 1000M). |
Duplex Status | Displays the current duplex mode. |
Flow Control | Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can |
Status | eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations |
| connected directly to the switch. Back pressure is used for |
| half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Note that flow |
| control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub. |
