This is the logical port number for this row.
The current link state is displayed graphically. Green indicates the link is up and red
that it is down.
Provides the current link speed of the port.
Selects any available link speed for the given switch port. Only speeds supported by
the specific port are shown. Possible speeds are:
Disabled - Disables the switch port operation.
Auto - Port auto negotiating speed with the link partner and selects the highest speed
that is compatible with the link partner.
10Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps half duplex mode.
10Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps full duplex mode.
100Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps half duplex mode.
100Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps full duplex mode.
1Gbps FDX - Forces the port in 1Gbps full duplex.
When Auto Speed is selected on a port, this section indicates the flow control
capability that is advertised to the link partner.
When a fixed-speed setting is selected, that is what is used. The Current Rx column
indicates whether pause frames on the port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column
indicates whether pause frames on the port are transmitted. The Rx and Tx settings
are determined by the result of the last Auto-Negotiation.
Check the configured column to use flow control. This setting is related to the setting
for Configured Link Speed.
Enter the maximum frame size allowed for the switch port, including FCS.
Configure port transmit collision behavior.
Discard: Discard frame after 16 collisions (default).
Restart: Restart backoff algorithm after 16 collisions.
