Only when the port is enabled can it forward data properly. Disable the
unused port; reopen it when needed, to reduce the power consumption.
Select the transmission speed and mode of the port.
FDX refers to Full Duplex, meaning that the port can receive and send
messages at the same time; HDX refers to Half Duplex, meaning that
the port can either receive or send messages at the same time.
Port G1/SFP1 and G2/SFP2 support 1000M/FDX and Auto-negotiation;
other ports support 10M/FDX, 10M/HDX, 100M/FDX, 100M/HDX and
Auto-negotiation.
When the switch is being linked with the terminal network equipment,
make sure of the speed and duplex according with the two ports to keep
nice communication.
Generally, advise to keep the default setting Auto.The transmission
speed and mode will be determined by the auto-negotiation of the local
port and the terminal port.
Select the port priority when setting QoS.
Enable/disable the flow control function of the selected port.
When the flow control of the switch and the terminal equipment are all
enabled, if some port congestion of the switch occurs, the port will send
the pause frame to the terminal equipment that will be suspended to
send data after receiving the pause frame; meanwhile, when one port of
the switch receives a pause frame, the port also will be paused to send
data.
By default, the port flow control is enabled.
Note
Enable the flow control to avoid the data packet loss caused by the
inconsistency of the sending and receiving rate. Yet that will also affect
the communication rate of the data source port and other facilities.
Please be careful with this function when linking the network port.
Enable/disable the broadcasting storm control function of the selected
port. By default, the storm control is disabled.
