1.
Enable or disable the port. If you choose Disabled,
devices connected to that port cannot use the
Switch, and the Switch purges their addresses from
its address table after the MAC address aging time
elapses. The Switch won't purge addresses if you
define them as permanent entries in the MAC
Forwarding Table.
2.
Configure the Speed/Duplex setting for the port.
Select Auto-Negotiate to allow the port to select the
best transmission speed, duplex mode and flow
control settings based on the capabilities of the
device at the other end. The other selections allow
you to force the port to operate in the specified
manner. Select 100Mbps/Full for port operation at
100 Mbps and full duplex. Select 100Mbps/Half for
port operation at 100 Mbps and half duplex. Select
10Mbps/Full for port operation at 10 Mbps and full
duplex. Select 10Mbps/Half for port operation at 10
Mbps and half duplex.
3.
Configure the Flow Control setting for the port.
Selecting Enabled in full-duplex mode will
implement IEEE 802.3x flow control. Selecting
Enabled when the port is in half duplex mode will
implement normal Ethernet collision-based
backpressure flow control. Select Disabled for no
flow control. Also, if the port is set for Auto (NWay)
in the speed/duplex field above and flow control is
enabled, flow control (whether full- or half-duplex)
will only be implemented if the other device can
auto-negotiate flow control. Note that you must
reboot the Switch before a flow control change can
take effect.
