4.5.2.1 Configuring Port Parameters
Use the Port Configuration menu to display or set communication parameters for any port on the switch,
including administrative status, auto-negotiation, default communication speed and duplex mode, as well
as flow control in use.
Parameter Default Description
Link Status Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.
Admin Status Enabled 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.
Auto Negotiate Enabled Enables or disables auto-negotiation for port speed, duplex mode, and
flow control.
Default Type 10HDX If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port will be set to the indicated speed
and duplex mode.
Current Type Indicates the current speed and duplex mode.
Flow Control Off 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. When enabled, back pressure
is used for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Note that flow
control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub.
Jack Type RJ-45 or SC Shows the jack type for each port.
