•
Duplex Mode — Displays the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when auto negotiation is disabled and the port speed is set to
10M or 100M. This field cannot be configured on LAGs. The possible field values are:
Full — The interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously.
–
Half — The interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only one direction at a time.
–
•
Auto Negotiation — Displays the auto negotiation status on the port. Auto negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a
port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode, and flow control abilities to its partner.
•
Back Pressure — Displays the Back Pressure mode on the Port. Back Pressure mode is used with half duplex mode to disable ports from
receiving messages. Back Pressure mode is enabled by default.
•
Flow Control — Displays the flow control status on the port. Operates when the port is in full duplex mode. FC is enabled by default.
•
MDI/MDIX — Displays the MDI/MDIX status of the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired opposite in the way from end stations. This
is to ensure that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through Ethernet cable can be used and the pairs will match
up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is
used to ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
Auto Uplink — Use to automatically detect the cable type.
–
MDI (Media Dependent Interface) — Use for end stations.
–
MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover) — Use for hubs and switches.
–
LAG — Indicates whether the port is part of a Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
