Default Description
Disabled Allows you enable/disable flow control for all ports
on the switch.
Enable 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 set the current port speed, duplex mode,
Negotiation and auto-negotiation. The default for RJ-45 ports
is auto-negotiation.
Disabled 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. Note that flow control should not be
used if a port is connected to a hub.
