Port Description Settings

The Switch supports a port description feature where the user may name various ports.
To view the following window, click Configuration > Port Configuration > Port Description:
Use the From Port and To Port drop-down menu to choose a port or range of ports to describe. Users may then enter a description
for the chosen port(s). If configuring the Combo ports, the Medium Type defines the type of transport medium to be used, whether
Copper or Fiber.
Click Apply to set the descriptions in the Port Description window.
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 config, 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.
If configuring the Combo ports, this defines the type of transport medium to be used,
whether Copper or Fiber.
