To avoid this problem, when connecting an end node with a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex to a switch port, you should disable
Auto-Negotiation on the port and set the port’s speed and duplex
mode manually.

❑ The auto-MDI/MDI-X setting is available only when a port’s speed

and duplex mode are set by Auto-Negotiation. If a port’s speed or
duplex mode is set manually, the port’s wiring configuration
defaults to MDI-X. Disabling Auto-Negotiation and setting a port’s
speed and duplex mode manually might require setting the port’s
MDI/MDI-X setting as well.

If you select Manual, two additional selections are displayed in the
menu:

Figure 15 Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Settings

You use these two selections to set the port’s speed and duplex
mode. The possible settings for the 2 - Speed selection are:

0010 - 10 Mbps

0100 - 100 Mbps

1000 - 1000 Mbps (optional Gigabit Ethernet ports only)

The possible settings for 3 - Duplex are Full-duplex and Half-
duplex.

5 - Flow Control
Flow control applies only to ports operating in full-duplex mode.
A port uses a special pause packet to stop the end node from
sending frames. The pause packet notifies the end node to stop
transmitting for a specified period of time.

Possible settings are:

None - No flow control on the port.

Transmit - Flow control only as packets are being transmitted out
the port.

Receive - Flow control only on as packets are being received on
the port.

Both - Flow control for both packets entering and leaving the port.

3 - Speed .............. 0100

4 - Duplex ............. Full-Duplex
