Displays an active or inactive port. If the link is connected to a working device, the link will show
that is it Up; otherwise, it will show Down. This is determined by the hardware on both devices
of the connection.
No default value.
State:
Displays the communication function of the port is Enabled or Disabled. When it is enabled,
traffic can be transmitted and received via this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be
transferred through this port. Port State is configured by user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Nego:
Displays the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes supported in the switch;
Auto-negotiation mode Enabled and forced mode Disabled. When in Enabled mode, this
function will be automatically negotiated by the hardware itself and exchange the capability of
speed and duplex mode. The best communication mode will be used. When in Disabled mode,
both parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex, otherwise, there will be no link.
In this case, the link result is Down.
Default: Enabled
Speed / Duplex Mode:
Displays the speed and duplex mode of all ports. There are three speeds 10Mbps, 100Mbps
and 1000Mbps supported for copper media. Duplex mode is half duplex and full duplex. If the
media is 1Gbps fiber, it is 1000Mbps only. The status of speed/duplex mode is determined by:
 Negotiation of both the local port and the link partner in Auto Speed mode
 User setting in Force mode. The local port has to be preset according to its capability.
Default: None, depends on the result of the negotiation.
Rx Pause:
Rx displays the way that the port processes the PAUSE frame. If On, the port will follow the
PAUSE frame; otherwise, the port will ignore the PAUSE frame.
Default: None
Tx Pause:
Tx decides if the port transmits the PAUSE frame or not. If it shows On, the port will send the
PAUSE frame; otherwise, the port will not send the PAUSE frame.
Default: None
