Flow Control — Set flow control on the port. The following options

are available:

Enable/Disable — Enable/disable flow control on the port

(Enabled is the default).

Auto Negotiation — Enables auto-negotiation of flow control on

the port.

Current Flow Control — Displays the current Flow Control setting.

MDI/MDIX — Select one of the options that enables the device to

decipher between crossed and uncrossed cables. Hubs and switches

are deliberately wired opposite to 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 match up

properly. When two hubs/switches are connected to each other, or two

end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used

ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible options are:
Auto — Use to automatically detect the cable type.

MDIX — Use for hubs and switches.

MDI — Use for end stations.

Current MDI/MDIX — Displays the current device MDIX settings.

LAG — Displays whether the port is part of a LAG.
