Configuring Port Settings

You can manually configure the speed, duplex, and flow control settings used on
specific ports, or use autonegotiation to allow the switch to autodetect the
connection settings used by the attached device. Full-duplex mode should be
used on ports whenever possible to double the throughput of switch connections.
Flow control should also be enabled to control network traffic during periods of
congestion and prevent the loss of packets when port buffer thresholds are
exceeded. The switch supports flow control based on the IEEE 802.3x standard.
