a 1000BASE-T cable for connection between the Switch port and other device capable of a
gigabit connection. The master setting (1000M/Full_M) will allow the port to advertise capabilities
related to duplex, speed and physical layer type. The master setting will also determine the
master and slave relationship between the two connected physical layers. This relationship is
necessary for establishing the timing control between the two physical layers. The timing control
is set on a master physical layer by a local source. The slave setting (1000M/Full_S) uses loop
timing, where the timing comes form a data stream received from the master. If one connection
is set for 1000M/Full_M, the other side of the connection must be set for 1000M/Full_S. Any
other configuration will result in a link down status for both ports.
Flow Control
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.
Address
When Enabled, destination and source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding
Learning
table. The default setting is Enabled.
MDIX
This can be specified as Auto, Normal, or Cross. In Normal state, the port is in MDIX mode and
can be connected to PC NIC using a straight cable. If it is in Cross state, the port is in MDI
mode, and can be connected to a port (in MDIX mode) on another switch through a straight
cable.
Medium Type
This applies only to the Combo ports. If configuring the Combo ports this defines the type of
transport medium used. SFP ports should be set at Fiber and the Combo 1000BASE-T ports
should be set at Copper.
