Negotiation
: “Auto” means that the switch will auto-negotiate the speed (automatically select
10M or 100M bps), and the transmission mode (full or half duplex), with the remote device. Force
means that the switch will run according to your own forced settings for speed and duplex.
Speed/Duplex
: Configured and Actual - Refers to the port speed and duplex setting. The
Config
column shows the configuration set up by you, while the
Actual
column shows the actual speed
of the port.
Flow Control
: Configured and Actual – “Symmetric” specifies that you need to activate the flow
control function of the remote network device in order to let the flow control of that corresponding
port of the switch to work. “Asymmetric” indicates that you don’t need to activate the flow control
function of the remote network device. The flow control of that corresponding port on the switch
