Configuring Crossover Settings For Combo Ports - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Manual

Setting Combo Ethernet Port Parameters
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to enable auto negotiation on copper combo port 47 on slot 2 and
document the combo port as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/47 hybrid copper autoneg enable

Configuring Crossover Settings for Combo Ports

To configure crossover settings on a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all combo ports an
entire slot use the interfaces hybrid crossover
flow control, auto speed, and auto duplex are not accepted.
Note. In the interface hybrid crossover 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.
Setting the crossover configuration to auto will configure the interface or interfaces to automatically
detect crossover settings. Setting crossover configuration to mdix will configure the interface or interfaces
for MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover), which is the standard for hubs and switches.
Setting crossover to mdi will configure the interface or interfaces for MDI (Media Dependent Interface),
which is the standard for end stations. And setting the crossover configuration to disable will disable
crossover configuration on an interface or interfaces.
To configure crossover settings for all combo ports on an entire switch enter interfaces followed by the
slot number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, crossover, and the desired setting. For example, to set the
crossover configuration to auto on for all copper combo ports slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid copper crossover auto
Note. using the interface hybrid crossover command to set all combo ports on a switch will not affect the
configurations of the non combo ports.
To configure crossover settings on a single combo port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, crossover, and the desired setting. For
example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on copper combo port 47 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/47 hybrid copper crossover auto
To configure crossover settings 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, crossover, and the desired setting. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on
copper combo ports 45 through 48 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/45-48 hybrid copper crossover auto
