FlowControl InUse Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can
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.
Speed and Duplex InUse Displays the current port speed and duplex mode
used. (Note that auto-negotiation is not available for
100BASE-FX ports.)
