Description
Toggle the State field to either enable or disable a given port or group of ports.
Toggle the Speed/Duplex field to either select the speed and duplex/half-
duplex state of the port. Auto denotes auto-negotiation between 10 and 100
Mbps devices, in full- or half-duplex. The Auto setting allows the port to
automatically determine the fastest settings the device the port is connected to
can handle, and then to use those settings. The other options are Auto,
10M/Half, 10M/Full, 100M/Half, 100M/Full and 1000/full. There is no automatic
adjustment of port settings with any option other than Auto.
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 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 Disabled.
For the Combo ports, if configuring the Combo ports this defines the type of
tranport medium used.
