CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

 

 

Parameter

Description

 

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.)
