switch.
Parameter Default Description
Flow Control
Mode
Disabled Allows you to enable or disable flow
control for all ports on the switch.
Admin Status Enable 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.
Duplex Status Auto-Negotiatio
n
Used to set the current port duplex mode
or auto-negotiation. The default is
auto-negotiation.
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.
