5. Enter a port name in the Name field.
6. Use the pull-down menu to select the Category. More information is not available
at this time.
7. Set Flow Control Mode to Enable, using the pull-down menu, if you want this
port to use flow control to prevent buffer overflows. Disable this feature only
when flow control is causing congestion in other areas of the network.
Enable/Disable Determines whether or not the port is able to pass traffic.
Port Name A user-assigned name for this port (possibly a drop name or the
name of the station or other device connected to the port).
Flow Control
Mode Determines if IEEE 802.3x pause control is used on this port.
The pause mechanism allows the port to stop a sending station
from sending more packets if the receiving port’s buffers are full.
This helps prevent lost or dropped packets.
Port PACE Priority Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted PACE format
as packets pass through the port. PACE allows a packet’s priority
(higher priority packets move through the switch faster) to be
set at the adapter.
Category Determines if the port is used by another switch or connected to
an endstation.
