Configuring Crossover Settings For Combo Ports - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Network Configuration Manual

Setting Ethernet Combo 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 autonegotiation on copper combo port 23 on slot 2 and
document the combo port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/23 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 in an
entire switch (slot), use the
MDIX, auto speed, and auto duplex are not accepted.
Note. In the interfaces hybrid crossover command, the copper keyword is used to configure the copper
RJ-45 10/100/1000 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.
To configure crossover settings for all combo ports on an entire switch, enter interfaces, followed by the
slot number, hybrid, copper, crossover, and the desired setting. For example, to set the crossover config-
uration 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, copper, crossover, and the desired setting. For example, to set
the crossover configuration to auto on copper combo port 23 on slot 2, enter:
-> interfaces 2/23 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, copper, cross-
over, and the desired setting. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on copper combo
ports 21 through 24 on slot 2, enter:
-> interfaces 2/21-24 hybrid copper crossover auto
