1000 Half — Indicates that the port advertises for a 1000 Mbps speed port and half 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 Group (LAG).

The Interface Configuration LAG table contains the following fields:

LAG — Indicates whether the port is part of a Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
LAG Type — Indicates the type of LAG defined by the first port assigned to the LAG. For example, 100-Copper, 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.

port.

Unchecked — Maintains the port's locked/

suspended state.
