Port Configuration
The Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II Downlink Ports can be configured via console
configuration. Type ports and press Enter to be taken to the Port Configuration
screen. From this screen, users can enable/disable ports and set Auto Negotiation
and Flow Control functions, etc. (This can also be performed via iView².)
When a port is disabled, it will no longer show LINK or send any traffic to the port.
Flow Control will cause a port to send PAUSE whenever the ports internal buffer
space is low. This can be affected by both Bandwidth limit setting for the port and
traffic congestion on the port.
Forced Flow Control should only be used when the connected end device does not
support Auto Negotiation.
