88 Asanté IntraCore 36000 Series
• 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation
• 100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
• 100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation
• 1000full - Supports 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation
• Sym (Gigabit only) - Check this item to transmit and receive pause frames, or clear it to auto-negotiate
the sender and receiver for asymmetric pause frames. (The current switch chip only supports symmetric
pause frames.)
• FC - Supports 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. When enabled, back pressure is used
for half-duplex operation and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation. (Avoid using flow control on a port
connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming
signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.)
(Default: Autonegotiation enabled; Advertised capabilities for 1000BASE-T – 10half, 10full, 100half,
100full, 1000full; 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH – 1000full)
Forced Mode – Shows the forced/preferred port type to use for the combination ports 21-24 or 45-48.
• Copper-Forced - Always uses the built-in RJ-45 port.
• Copper-Preferred-Auto - Uses the built-in RJ-45 port if both combination types are functioning and the
RJ-45 port has a valid link.
• SFP-Forced - Always uses the SFP port (even if module is not installed).
• SFP-Preferred-Auto - Uses SFP port if both combination types are functioning and the SFP port has a
valid link.
Trunk – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To create trunks and select port members, see section 7.3
Configuring Trunk Groups.
Note: Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force the interface to use the
Speed/Duplex Mode or Flow Control options.
