Port Description Settings

The Switch supports a port description feature where the user may name various ports.
To view the following window, click System Configuration > Port Configuration > Port Description Settings, as
show below:
from a data stream received from the master. If one connection is set for 1000M
Full_Master, the other side of the connection must be set for 1000M Full_Slave. Any
other configuration will result in a link down status for both ports.
Displays the flow control scheme used for the various port configurations. Ports
configured for full-duplex use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports use backpressure
flow control, and Auto ports use an automatic selection of the two. The default is
Disabled.
Enable or disable MAC address learning for the selected ports. When Enabled,
destination and source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding table.
When address learning is Disabled, MAC addresses must be manually entered into the
forwarding table. This is sometimes done for reasons of security or efficiency. See the
section on Forwarding/Filtering for information on entering MAC addresses into the
forwarding table. The default setting is Enabled.
Auto - Select auto for auto sensing of the optimal type of cabling.
Normal - Select normal for normal cabling. If set to normal state, the port is in MDI mode
and can be connected to a PC NIC using a straight-through cable or a port (in MDI
mode) on another switch through a cross-over cable.
Cross - Select cross for cross cabling. If set to cross state, the port is in MDIX mode, and
can be connected to a port (in MDI mode) on another switch through a straight cable.
If configuring the Combo ports, this defines the type of transport medium to be used.
