Flow Control A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth and overflows buffer
memory causing packet discards and frame losses. Flow Control is used to regulate
transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of the receiving port.
The switch uses IEEE802.3x flow control in full duplex mode and back-pressure flow
control in half duplex mode.
IEEE802.3x flow control is used in full duplex mode to send a pause signal to the
sending port, causing it to temporarily stop sending signals when the receiving port
memory buffers fill.
Back Pressure flow control is typically used in half duplex mode to send a "collision"
signal to the sending port (mimicking a state of packet collision) causing the sending
port to temporarily stop sending signals and resend later. Select Flow Control to
enable it.
802.1P Priority This priority value is added to incoming frames without a (802.1p) priority queue tag.
See Priority Queue Assignment in Table 10 on page 67 for more information.
PD This field is only available on the ES-2108PWR but not available for the Gigabit and
mini-GBIC ports.
A powered device (PD) is a device such as an access point or a switch, that supports
PoE (Power over Ethernet) so that it can receive power from another device through a
10/100Mbps Ethernet port.
Select the check box to allow a powered device (connected to the port) to receive
power from the switch.
