You cannot enable this function on 1000Base-X optical interface.
5.1.3 Transmit Rate
To set the transmit rate of an Ethernet port, use the following command.
port speed PORTS {10 | 100 |
1000 | 10000}
Sets the transmit rate of a specified port to
10/100/1000Mbps or 10Gbps.
PORTS: port number
You cannot set transmit rate on 1000Base-X optical interface.
5.1.4 Duplex Mode
Ethernet operates in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. In full-duplex mode, frames
travel in both directions simultaneously over two channels on the same connection for an
aggregate bandwidth of twice that of half-duplex mode. Full duplex networks are very
efficient since data can be sent and received simultaneously.
To set the duplex mode on an Ethernet port, use the following command.
port duplex PORTS {full | half}
Sets full-duplex or half-duplex mode on a specified
port.
PORTS: port number
5.1.5 Flow Control
In Ethernet networking, the flow control is the process of adjusting the flow of data from
one network device to another to ensure that the receiving device can handle all of the
incoming data. For this process, the receiving device normally sends a PAUSE frame to
the sending device when its buffer is full. The sending device then stops sending data for
a while. This is particularly important where the sending device is capable of sending data
much faster than the receiving device can receive it.
To enable the flow control on an Ethernet port, use the following command.
port flow-control PORTS {on |
off}
Enables the flow control on a specified port.
(default: off)
