What Is in This Chapter
Port Configurations Table
Flow Control
Displays the flow control status of the port. It is in effect only when the port is
operating at 100 mbs in full-duplex mode. Possible values are “enabled”
(enable flow control of the port), “disabled” (disable flow control of the port),
“other” (status unknown).
Port Type Configuration
Indicates the current switch port type configuration. Possible values are
“other” (other or not known), “auto” (the port is configured for interconnecting
LAN Switches in a community), or “feeder” (the port is configured for host
connectivity).
Next Boot Type
Indicates the switch port type that will be in effect after the next boot of the
switch. Table 3-7 lists and describes the possible types.
Partition Status
Displays the partition status of the port. Possible values are “enabled” (enable
the port), “partition” (partition the port), or “other” (partition status
unknown). The value “partition” will survive resets of the host card, causing
the port to be partitioned indefinitely until the value enabled is written.
Partitioning a trunk port is not allowed.
Link Status
Displays the link status of the port. Possible values are “other” (other or not
known), “off” (link is not connected) or “on” (link is connected).
Ports will have a value of “off” or “on.” All other port types will have a value of
“other.”
Connector Type
Displays the type of connector that the port offers. See Table 3-1 for a list and
description of Connector Types.
Duplex Mode
Displays the port can be set to operate in either half or full duplex mode. The
values are “halfDuplex” or “fullDuplex.”
The port media type (expansion or regular) and port link type (trunk or
feeder) determine your ability to choose between half or full duplex mode. The
port cannot set to half duplex mode if the port speed is set to “s200.” However,
