Parameter Default Description
Link Status Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an
external device.
Admin
Status Enabled Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal
behavior (e.g., excessive collisions), and then
reenable it after the problem has been resolved.
You may also disable a port for security reasons.
Auto
Negotiate* Enabled Enables or disables auto-negotiation for the
following features
Port Type Speed Duplex Flow
Mode Control
10/100BASE-T auto auto auto
100BASE-FX 100M full duplex auto
1000BASE-SX 1000M full duplex auto
1000BASE-LX 1000M full duplex auto
1000BASE-T 1000M full duplex auto
The 10/100BASE-TX ports can auto-negotiate the
speed to 10/100 Mbps, and the transmission mode
to half/full duplex. The plug-in modules are all
fixed at the indicated speed and duplex mode. All
media types can auto-negotiate flow control.
Default
Type 10M-Half-
Duplex If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port will be set
to the indicated speed and duplex mode.
Current Type Indicates the current speed and duplex mode.
Flow
Control Off Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow
control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking”
traffic from end stations or segments connected
directly to the switch when its buffers fill. When
enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex and
IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex. Note that flow control
should not be used if a port is connected to a hub.
