z  Only ports on the front panel of the device support the auto-negotiation speed configuration feature. 
And ports on the extended interface card do not support this feature currently.  
z  After you configure auto-negotiation speed(s) for a port, if you execute the undo speed command 
or the speed auto command, the auto-negotiation speed setting of the port restores to the default 
setting.  
z  The effect of executing speed auto 10 100 1000 equals to that of executing speed auto, that is, 
the port is configured to support all the auto-negotiation speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 
Mbps.  
 
Limiting Traffic on individual Ports 
By performing the following configurations, you can limit the incoming broadcast traffic on individual 
ports. When a type of incoming traffic exceeds the threshold you set, the system drops the packets 
exceeding the traffic limit to reduce the traffic ratio of this type to the reasonable range, so as to keep 
normal network service. 
Follow these steps to limit traffic on port:

Limit broadcast traffic received 
on each port

By default, the switch does not 
suppress broadcast traffic.

Enabling Flow Control on a Port 
Flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. If congestion occurs on the local switch: 
z  The local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending packets to itself or 
reducing the sending rate temporarily. 
z  The peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending rate temporarily 
when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is avoided and the network 
service operates normally.
