Flow control set to on for receive (Rx) and off for transmit (Tx)
1
Flow control (Gigabit Ethernet) Flow control set to off for receive (Rx) and desired for transmit (Tx)
Flow control (other Ethernet) Flow control set to off for receive (Rx); transmit (Tx) not supported
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Enabled for VLAN 1
Native VLAN VLAN 1
Port VLAN cost
• 100 for 10-Mbps Ethernet ports
• 19 for 10/100-Mbps Fast Ethernet ports

EtherChannel Disabled on all Ethernet ports
Jumbo frames Disabled on all Ethernet ports
1. On WS-X6502-10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, flow control on the receive side is always on and cannot be set to off. On
WS-X6704, WS-X6708-10-Gigabit Ethernet ports and Supervisor Engine 720-10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports flowcontrol
for both send and receive side can be set to off.
