Parameter Default Description

Flow Control

on all ports

Disabled See “Flow Control” in this table.

Type Shows port type as:

10/100TX: 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX

100FX: 100BASE-FX

1000SX: 1000BASE-SX

1000LX: 1000BASE-LX

1000T: 1000BASE-T

GBIC: 1000BASE-X Transceiver

Admin Enabled Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive

collisions), and then re-enable it after the problem has been resolved.

You may also disable a port for security reasons.

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.
