To display the Flow Control page, click Switching > Ports, and then click the Flow Control link. To configure global flow control settings: 1. From the Global Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) Mode field, enable or disable IEEE 802.3x flow control on the system. The factory default is Disable. • Enable. The switch sends pause packets if the port buffers become full. • Disable. The switch does not send pause packets if the port buffers become full. 2. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to the latest value of the switch. 3. If you change the mode, click Apply to apply the changes to the system. The GS748T supports two combo ports using 1000M SFP modules. Each combo port can operate in either 'copper' or 'fiber' mode. When a cable is plugged into the RJ-45 port, copper mode is used. When a SFP module is plugged in, fiber mode is used. The system automatically detects the media that is in use on a combo port and operates accordingly. The SFP transceiver takes precedence over the RJ-45 copper port. In particular, the following behavior of combo port mechanism is followed: 1. When SFP transceiver is present in (plugged into) the SFP slot and optical link is established via the SFP transceiver the combo port mechanism will use the SFP transceiver and shut down the RJ-45 copper port regardless of the state of the latter (that is, regardless of the copper port link being up or down); 2. If (and while) the optical link is down (SFP transceiver is not present in the SFP slot or fiber cable is unplugged from SFP transceiver or optical link is shut down on the other side of the fiber cable, etc.), then the combo port mechanism will use the RJ-45 copper port. 78 | Chapter 3: Configuring Switching Information
