Description
Shows in the port is enabled or not.
Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.
Shows the port speed (10M, 100M, or 1000M).
Displays the current duplex mode (half or full duplex).
Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can eliminate
frame loss by "blocking" traffic from end stations connected
directly to the switch. 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.
