Advertise Duplex
When duplex is set as auto i.e auto negotiation, the port will only advertise the
specified duplex as either Fdx or Hdx to the link partner. By default port will
advertise all the supported duplexes if the Duplex is Auto.
Advertise Speed
When Speed is set as auto i.e auto negotiation, the port will only advertise the
specified speeds (10M100M 1G) to the link partner. By default port will advertise all
the supported speeds if speed is set as Auto.
Flow Control :
When Auto Speed is selected on a port, this section indicates the flow control capability
that is advertised to the link partner.
When a fixed-speed setting is selected, that is what is used. The Current Rx column
indicates whether pause frames on the port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column
indicates whether pause frames on the port are transmitted. The Rx and Tx settings are
determined by the result of the last Auto Negotiation.
Check the configured column to use flow control. This setting is related to the setting for
Configured Link Speed.
NOTICE: The 100FX standard doesn't support Auto Negotiation, so when in 100FX mode
the flow control capabilities will always be shown as "disabled".Maximum Frame Size :
Enter the maximum frame size allowed for the switch port, including FCS.
PFC
When PFC (802.1Qbb Priority Flow Control) is enabled on a port then flow control
on a priority level is enabled. Through the Priority field, range (one or more) of
priorities can be configured, e.g. '0-3,7' which equals '0,1,2,3,7'. PFC is not
supported through auto negotiation. PFC and Flowcontrol cannot both be enabled
on the same port.
Maximum Frame Size
Enter the maximum frame size allowed for the switch port, including FCS. The
rangeis 1518-9600 bytes.
Excessive Collision Mode :
Configure port transmit collision behavior.
