Table 3-4. Port Configuration Fields (Continued)
Field Description
The priority level of packets exiting the port or
ports on the module. For effective
transmission, multimedia packets must be
received isochronously (at regular intervals).
To ensure this, you can assign priorities to
packets coming out of a port.
Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port
cannot accept all incoming packets, packets
sent from a port with the highest priority will
pass through first. However, a fairness
mechanism will allow low priority packets to
eventually enter the bus.
Possible values are:
The configured state of the Auto-Negotiation
protocol between two stations. When enabled,
Auto-Negotiation detects the highest common
denominator for communication between
endstations, and sets both to the same highest
common setting. It also delivers remote link
status.
For 10BaseT and 100BaseT ports,
Auto-Negotiation determines the speed and
Duplex Mode of communication between the
endstations. For Gigabit ports, Auto-
Negotiation determines the Flow Control
setting of the ports.
