The possible settings are full-duplex and half-duplex.
  • Page 69: Configuring Head Of Line Blocking

    Configuring Head of Line Blocking Head of line (HOL) blocking is a problem that occurs when a port on a switch becomes oversubscribed. An oversubscribed port is receiving more packets from other switch ports than it can transmit in a timely manner. An oversubscribed port can prevent other ports from forwarding packets to each other because ingress packets on a port are buffered in a First In, First Out (FIFO) manner.
  • Page 70 Chapter 2: Port Parameters other ports to discard packets destined for port D. Port A drops the D packets, enabling it to once again forward packets to port C. The number that you enter for this value represents cells. A cell is 128 bytes.
  • Page 71: Configuring Flow Control And Back Pressure

    Configuring Flow Control and Back Pressure A switch port uses flow control to control the flow of ingress packets from its end node when operating in full-duplex mode. A port using flow control issues a special frame, referred to as a PAUSE frame, as specified in the IEEE 802.3x standard, to stop the transmission of data from an end node.

  • Page 78: Forcing Port Renegotiation

    Chapter 2: Port Parameters Forcing Port Renegotiation Port renegotiation prompts a port operating in Auto-Negotiation to renegotiate its speed and duplex mode with its end node. This option is useful if you believe that a port and end node are not operating at the same speed and duplex mode.
