Configuring Auto Negotiation And Crossover For Combo Ports; Enabling And Disabling Auto Negotiation For Combo Ports - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Ethernet Ports
To configure the duplex mode on a range of combo ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first combo port number, a hyphen (-), the last combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or
copper, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the duplex mode
on fiber combo ports 45 through 48 on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2/45-48 hybrid fiber duplex full
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set the duplex mode on the fiber combo port 47 on slot 2 and
document the fiber combo port as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/47 hybrid fiber duplex full

Configuring Auto Negotiation and Crossover for Combo Ports

The following subsections describe how to enable and disable auto negotiation (see
Disabling Auto Negotiation for Combo Ports" on page
"Configuring Crossover Settings for Combo Ports" on page

Enabling and Disabling Auto Negotiation for Combo Ports

By default, auto negotiation is enabled. To enable or disable auto negotiation on a single combo port, a
range of combo ports, or all combo ports on an entire slot use the
(See "Configuring Crossover Settings for Combo Ports" on page 1-22
Note. In the interface hybrid autoneg 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 enable or disable auto negotiation on all combo ports an entire switch enter interfaces followed by the
slot number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, autoneg, and either enable or disable. For example, to
enable auto negotiation on all copper combo ports on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid copper autoneg enable
Note. using the interface hybrid autoneg command to set all combo ports on a switch will not affect the
configurations of the non combo ports.
To enable or disable auto negotiation on a single combo port enter interfaces followed by the slot number,
a slash (/), the combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, autoneg, and either enable or disable.
For example, to enable auto negotiation on copper combo port 47 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/47 hybrid copper autoneg enable
To enable or disable auto negotiation on a range of combo ports enter interfaces followed by the slot
number, a slash (/), the first combo port number, a hyphen (-), the last combo port number, hybrid, either
fiber or copper, autoneg, and either enable or disable. For example, to enable auto negotiation on copper
combo ports 45 through 48 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/45-48 hybrid copper autoneg enable
