Parameter Default Description

Type Shows port type as 1000BASE-SX.

Admin 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.

Flow Control ON 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.

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.

Speed and Duplex 1000-FULL Indicates the current port speed and duplex mode (1000-FULL

or AUTO). Although ports on the switch can be set for auto-

negotiation, operation is restricted to 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
