CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

 

 

 

Parameter

Default

Description

Flow Control

Disabled

Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control

 

 

can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from

 

 

end stations or segments connected directly to the

 

 

switch when its buffers fill. IEEE 802.3x flow control

 

 

is used for full duplex. Note that flow control should

 

 

not be used if a port is connected to a hub.

Speed and

100_FULL

Used to set the current port speed and duplex mode.

Duplex

 

The MT-RJ ports have a default setting of 100_FULL.

 

 

 

 

Auto-negotiation is the default setting for

 

 

1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX;

 

 

but is not available for 100BASE-FX.

Note: MT-RJ ports operate at 100 Mbps and support full- and half-duplex mode. 100BASE-FX module ports operate at

100Mbps, 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.
