Description
Allows you to enable or disable flow control for all
ports on the switch.
Shows port type as 1000SX (1000Base-SX)
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 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.
Used to set the current port speed, duplex mode,
and auto-negotiation.
