Port Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User's Guide Figure 7-5. Configure Port window Select the port you want to configure by clicking on the port in the Switch front panel display at the top of the screen. Then follow these steps: 1. Enable or disable the port in the State field. If you choose Disable, devices connected to that port cannot use the Switch, and the Switch purges their addresses from its address table after the MAC address aging time elapses. The Switch won't purge addresses if you define them as permanent entries in the Static Forwarding Table. 2. Configure the Speed/Duplex setting for the port. Select Auto for Auto-Negotiation. This allows the port to select the best transmission speed and duplex mode based on the capabilities of the device at the other end. Select 100/Full for port operation at 100 Mbps and full duplex. Select 100/Half for port operation at 100 Mbps and half duplex. Select 10/Full for port operation at 10 Mbps and full duplex. Select 10/Half for port operation at 10 Mbps and half duplex. 3. Configure the Flow Control setting for the port. Selecting On in full-duplex mode will implement IEEE 802.3x flow control. Selecting On when the port is in half duplex mode will implement normal Ethernet collision-based backpressure flow control. Select Off for no flow control. Also, if the port is set for Auto (NWay) in the speed/duplex field above and flow control is enabled, flow control (whether full- or half-duplex) will only be implemented if the other device can auto-negotiate flow control. Note that you must reboot the Switch before a flow control change can take effect. 110 Web-Based Network Management

Configure Port window
Select the port you want to configure by clicking on the port in the Switch front panel display at the top
of the screen. Then follow these steps:
1.
Enable or disable the port in the State field. If you choose
Disable
, devices connected to that port
cannot use the Switch, and the Switch purges their addresses from its address table after the MAC
address aging time elapses. The Switch won't purge addresses if you define them as permanent
entries in the Static Forwarding Table.
2.
Configure the Speed/Duplex setting for the port. Select
Auto
for Auto-Negotiation. This allows the
port to select the best transmission speed and duplex mode based on the capabilities of the device at
the other end. Select
100/Full
for port operation at 100 Mbps and full duplex. Select
100/Half
for
port operation at 100 Mbps and half duplex. Select
10/Full
for port operation at 10 Mbps and full
duplex. Select
10/Half
for port operation at 10 Mbps and half duplex.
3.
Configure the Flow Control setting for the port. Selecting
On
in full-duplex mode will implement
IEEE 802.3x flow control. Selecting
On
when the port is in half duplex mode will implement normal
Ethernet collision-based backpressure flow control. Select
Off
for no flow control. Also, if the port is
set for
Auto

full- or half-duplex) will only be implemented if the other device can auto-negotiate flow control. Note
that you must reboot the Switch before a flow control change can take effect.
