Auto denotes auto-negotiation between 10 and 100 Mbps devices, in full- or half-duplex. The Auto
setting allows the port to automatically determine the fastest settings the device the port is
connected to can handle, and then to use those settings. The other options are
Auto , 10M/Half ,
10M/Full, 100M/Half , 1 00M/Full and 1000M/Full . There is no automatic adjustment of port settings
with any option other than Auto.
Flow Control Displays the flow control scheme used for the various port configurations. Ports configured for full-
duplex use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use backpressure flow control, and
Auto ports
use an automatic selection of the two. The default is Disabled .

source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding table. When learning is Disabled ,

addresses into the forwarding table. The default setting is
