Description: * Used to set the speed and duplex parameters of a port.
* If the media is 1Gbps fibre, then there are three modes
to choose from: ‘Auto Speed’, ‘1000 Full’ and ‘Disable’.
* If the media is UTP (copper), then there are additional
Speed/Duplex settings. Speed modes are: ‘10’,’100’ or
‘1000Mbps’. Duplex modes are: ‘Full duplex’ or ‘Half
duplex’. The following table summarizes the functions
that each media type supports.
Media type Nway Speed Duplex
1000M UTP ON/OFF 10/100/1000M Full for all, Half for 10/100
1000M Fibre ON/OFF 1000M Full
* In Auto Speed mode, there are no default values

Flow Control:
* Select from either ‘Enable’ or ‘Disable’ for Flow Control.
* If flow control is set to ‘Enable’, then both parties can
send PAUSE frames to the transmitting device(s), if the
receiving port is too busy to handle the data rate being
sent to it.
* If flow control is set to ‘Disable’ there will be no flow
control on the port. In congested situations the switch
will drop packets. Default State: Enable
