Description Give a port description for identification.
Status With this option enabled, the port forwards packets normally. Otherwise, the port
discards all the received packets. By default, it is enabled.
Speed Select the appropriate speed mode for the port. When Auto is selected, the port
autonegotiates speed mode with the connected device. The default setting is Auto.
This value is recommended if both ends of the line support auto-negotiation.
Duplex Select the appropriate duplex mode for the port. There are three options: Half, Full
and Auto. When Auto is selected, the port autonegotiates duplex mode with the
connected device. The default setting is Auto.
Flow Control With this option enabled, the switch synchronizes the data transmission speed with
the peer device, thus avoiding the packet loss caused by congestion. By default, it is
disabled.
Note:
We recommend that you set the ports on both ends of a link as the same speed and duplex mode.
