Port Configuration
Use the Port Configuration menu to configure any port on the switch.
Parameter Default Description
Flow control mode
(on all ports)
Disabled See “Flow Control Status” in this table.
Admin Status Enable Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior, and then
re-enable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also
disable a port for security reasons.
Speed/Duplex Status Auto-
Negotiation
Used to set the current port speed, duplex mode, flow control, and
auto-negotiation.
Auto-negotiation is the default setting for 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX.
Flow Control Status 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. 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.
