D-Link DES-3010FA/GA User Guide - 100 - Indicates the port is currently operating at 100 Mbps. - 1000 - Indicates the port is currently operating at 1000 Mbps. • Duplex Mode - Displays the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when auto negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. This field cannot be configured on LAGs. The possible field values are: - Full - The interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously. - Half - The interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only one direction at a time. • Auto Negotiation - Displays the auto negotiation status on the port. Auto negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode, and flow control abilities to its partner. • Advertisement - Defines the auto negotiation setting the port advertises. The possible field values are: - Max Capability - Indicates that all port speeds and duplex mode settings are accepted. - 10 Half - Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 Mbps speed port and half duplex mode setting. - 10 Full - Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 Mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting. - 100 Half - Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 Mbps speed port and half duplex mode setting. - 100 Full - Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 Mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting. • Back Pressure - Displays the back pressure mode on the Port. Back pressure mode is used with half duplex mode to disable ports from receiving messages. • Flow Control - Displays the flow control status on the port. Operates when the port is in full duplex mode. • MDI/MDIX - Displays the MDI/MDIX status on the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired opposite the way end stations are wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other, or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are: - Auto - Use to automatically detect the cable type. - MDI (Media Dependent Interface) - Use for end stations. - MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover) - Use for hubs and switches. • LAG - Indicates whether the port is part of a Link Aggregation (LAG). The Interface Configuration LAG table contains the following fields: • LAG - Indicates whether the port is part of a Link Aggregation (LAG). • LAG Type - Indicates the type of LAG defined by the first port assigned to the LAG. For example, 100-Cop- per, or 100-Fiber. • LAG Status - Indicates whether the LAG is up or down. • LAG Speed - Displays the configured aggregated rate for the LAG. The possible field values are: - 10 - Indicates the port is currently operating at 10 Mbps. - 100 - Indicates the port is currently operating at 100 Mbps. - 1000 - Indicates the port is currently operating at 1000 Mbps. • Auto Negotiation - Displays the auto negotiation status of the LAG. Auto negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode, and flow control abilities to its partner. • Back Pressure - Displays the back pressure mode on the LAG. Back pressure mode is used with half duplex mode to disable ports in the LAG from receiving messages. • Flow Control - Displays the flow control status of the LAG. Page 98
