Mode
Indicates the speed and duplex mode settings for the port.
You can use this parameter to set the speed and duplex mode of a
port. Possible settings are:
Ignore - Indicates the All setting does not apply to the Mode field. In
other words, each port is set individually.
Auto - The port is using Auto-Negotiation to set the operating
speed and duplex mode. This is the default setting for all ports. The
actual operating speed and duplex mode of the port are displayed
in parentheses (for example, “1000F” for 1000 Mbps full duplex
mode) after a port establishes a link with an end node.
Auto (1000F) - 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
1000/Full - 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
100/Full - 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode
10/Full - 10 Mbps in full-duplex mode
1000/Half - 1000 Mbps half-duplex mode
100/Half - 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode
10/Half - 10 Mbps in half-duplex mode
When selecting a setting, note the following:
When a twisted-pair port is set to Auto-Negotiation, the default
setting, the end node should also be set to Auto-Negotiation to
prevent a duplex mode mismatch. A switch port using Auto-
Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is
not using Auto-Negotiation. This can result in a mismatch if the end
node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex. To avoid
this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex to a switch port, disable Auto-Negotiation on
the port and set the port’s speed and duplex mode manually.
The only valid setting for an optional SFP port is Auto-Negotiation.
Flow Control
The current flow control setting on the port. The switch uses a special
pause packet to notify the end node to stop transmitting for a specified
period of time. The possible values are:
Ignore—Indicates the All setting does not apply to the Flow Control
field. In other words, each port is set individually.
Enabled—The port is permitted to use flow control. This is the
default setting for all ports on the switch.
Disabled—The port is not permitted to use flow control.
