port and its connected node.
Port Enable. To enable or disable the selected port or range of ports, make your selection in the Port
Enable field. Disabled ports do not transmit any packets to connected segments, nor forward any received
packets to the switching backplane.

Port Auto-Negotiation. Select enable or disable in the Port Auto-Negotiation field. When
auto-negotiation is enabled, the Switch decides the port speed and duplex mode of the port when it
establishes a link to another device. For this setting to work properly, auto-negotiation must be enabled on
both ends of the link.
7.
Port Speed sets the speed of a 10/100Base-TX port. Select either 100Mbps or 10Mbps. This is a
read-only field if auto-negotiation is enabled. This field displays an asterisk if a range of ports with different
speed settings was entered.
8.
Port Flow Control. Select enable or disable in the Port Flow Control field to set flow control for the port.
If enabled, flow control minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's
receiving buffer is full. The default is enable.
9.
Port Duplex is a view-only field when auto-negotiation is enabled. When auto-negotiation is disabled,
select half or full in this field to set the duplex mode for the port. Full duplex transmissions effectively
double your bandwidth by transmitting and receiving packets at the same time. Both ends of a link must
be set to full duplex to have full duplex operation.
