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

Duplex

 

mode.

The VF-45 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: VF-45 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.
