Figure 4-17. Port status screen.
Parameter Description:
Port: Display the port number, from 1–8. Ports 7 and 8 are optional modules.
Link: Show if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to a device that’s working, the Link appear as “Up”; otherwise, it
will be “Down.” This is determined by the hardware on both devices of the connection.
Speed/Duplex Mode: Display the speed and duplex of all port. 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps speeds are supported for TP media,
with half duplex and full duplex. If the media is 1Gbps fiber, 1000 Mbps speed is supported only. The status of speed/duplex mode is
determined by 1) the negotiation of both local port and link partner in “Auto Speed” mode or 2) user setting in “Force” mode. The local
port must preset its capability.
Flow Control: Show each port’s flow control status.
There are two types of flow control in Ethernet, Backpressure for half-duplex operation and Pause flow control (IEEE802.3x) for full-duplex
operation. The switch supports both of them.
