Select the unit you wish to configure.
Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here.
Toggle the State field to either enable or disable a given port or group of ports.
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.
Enable or disable MAC address learning for the selected ports. When Enabled,
destination and source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding table.
When address learning is Disabled, MAC addresses must be manually entered into the
forwarding table. This is sometimes done for reasons of security or efficiency. See the
section on Forwarding/Filtering for information on entering MAC addresses into the
forwarding table. The default setting is Enabled.
Auto - Select auto for auto sensing of the optimal type of cabling.
