FC - Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from
end stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its
buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex
operation and IEEE 802.3-2005 (formally IEEE 802.3x) for full-
duplex operation.
Default: Autonegotiation enabled; Advertised capabilities for
100Base-TX – 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full;
100BASE-FX (SFP) – 100full;
1000BASE-T – 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full;
1000Base-SX/LX/LH – 1000full
◆ Speed/Duplex – Allows you to manually set the port speed and
duplex mode. (i.e., with auto-negotiation disabled)
◆ Giga PHY Mode – Forces two connected ports into a master/slave
configuration to enable 1000BASE-T full duplex for Gigabit ports. The
following options are supported:
■
Master - Sets the selected port as master.
■
Slave - Sets the selected port as slave.
To force 1000full operation requires the ports at both ends of a link to
establish their role in the connection process as a master or slave.
Before using this feature, auto-negotiation must first be disabled, and
the Speed/Duplex attribute set to 1000full. Then select compatible Giga
PHY modes at both ends of the link.
If auto-negotiation is enabled at the far end of a link, and disabled on
the local end, a link should eventually be established regardless of the
selected giga-phy mode.
◆ Flow Control – Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control.
