Configuring Ethernet Ports

Setting Combo Ports to Preferred Fiber

In preferred fiber mode (the default) combo ports will use the fiber SFP port instead of the copper RJ-45
port if both ports are enabled and have a valid link. If the fiber port goes down then the switch will auto-
matically switch to the copper RJ-45 port. To set a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all
combo ports on a switch to preferred fiber use the
To set all combo ports on an entire switch to preferred fiber mode enter interfaces followed by the slot
number and hybrid preferred-fiber. For example, to set all combo ports on slot 2 to preferred fiber enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid preferred-fiber
To set a single combo port to preferred fiber enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the
port number, and hybrid preferred-fiber. For example, to set port 47 on slot 1 to preferred fiber enter:
-> interfaces 1/47 hybrid preferred-fiber
To set a range of combo ports to preferred fiber ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and hybrid preferred-fiber. For exam-
ple, to set combo ports 46 through 48 on slot 1 to preferred fiber enter:
-> interfaces 1/46-48 hybrid preferred-fiber
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set port 47 on slot 1 to preferred fiber and document the interface
type as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 1/47 hybrid preferred-fiber

Setting Interface Line Speed for Combo Ports

The interfaces hybrid speed
combo ports, or all combo ports on an entire switch (slot) to 10 (10 Mbps Ethernet), 100 (100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet), 1000 (1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, which is the default for combo SFP ports), or auto (auto-
sensing, which is the default for combo 10/100/1000 ports). The auto setting automatically detects and
matches the line speed of the attached device. (Available settings for this command depend on the avail-
able line speeds of your hardware interface. See
Note. In the interface hybrid speed command the copper keyword is used to configure the copper RJ-45
10/100/1000 port while the fiber keyword is used to configure the fiber SFP port.
To set the line speed for all combo ports on an entire switch enter interfaces followed by the slot number,
hybrid, either fiber or copper, and the desired speed. For example, to set all combo copper ports on slot 2
to 100 Mbps enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid copper speed 100
Note. using the interface hybrid speed command to set all combo ports on a switch will not affect the
configurations of the non combo ports.
