Description
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 port to full- or half-duplex mode, or
auto-negotiation. The default for Gigabit ports is
auto-negotiation. However, note that auto-
negotiation is not available for the 100Mbps fiber
ports.
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.
