Description
Shows port type as:
10/100TX: 10Base-T/100Base-TX
100FX: 100Base-FX
1000SX: 1000Base-SX
1000LX: 1000Base-LX
Allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior
(e.g., excessive collisions), and then re-enable it after
the problem has been resolved. You may also disable a
port for security reasons.
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. Back pressure is used for
half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Do not
use flow control if a port is connected to a hub.
Used to set the current port speed, duplex mode, and
auto-negotiation. (Auto-negotiation is not available for
100Base-FX ports.)
