Setting Description
Port Enable
Port Disable These two selections enable and disable a port. When a port
is enabled, it forwards traffic to and from the network device
connected to it. This is the default setting. When a port is
disabled, it doesn’t forward traffic. You might disable a port if
there is a problem with the cable or with the network device
connected to it. You might also disable unused ports to
secure them from unauthorized connections.
Flow Control Enable
Flow Control Disable Flow control regulates the flow of network traffic on ports set
to full-duplex mode. When flow control is enabled on a port
on a line card, the port issues pause packets whenever it
needs to stop the network device from sending packets. The
default setting for flow control is enabled.
