PORT MENUS

 

 

 

Parameter

Default

Description

 

Flow Control

Disabled

Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow

 

Status

 

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. Note that flow control should not

 

 

be used if a port is connected to a hub.

 

 

 

 

Note: MT-RJ ports operate at 100 Mbps and support full- and half-duplex mode. 100BASE-FX module ports operate at 100 Mbps, full-duplex only. 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX ports are fixed at 1000 Mbps, but auto-negotiate duplex mode and flow control. 1000BASE-T ports auto-negotiate speed (1000/100/10 Mbps), duplex mode and flow control.
