Setting Combo Ethernet Port Parameters on OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 Switches

Setting Combo Ethernet Port Parameters on
OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 Switches
The following sections describe how to use CLI commands to configure combo ports on OmniSwitch
6800 and 6850 switches only:
•
Ports 21–24 on the OmniSwitch 6800-24 and OmniSwitch 6850-24 switches are combo ports.
•
Ports 45–48 on the OmniSwitch 6800-48 and OmniSwitch 6850-48 switches are combo ports.

Setting the Combo Port Type and Mode

By default, all combo ports on OmniSwitch 6800 Series and OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches are set to
preferred fiber. The following subsections describe how to set a single combo port, a range of combo
ports, or all combo ports on an entire switch to forced fiber (see
page 37-18), preferred copper

types and modes.

Setting Combo Ports to Forced Fiber

In forced fiber mode, combo ports will always use the fiber SFP connector instead of the equivalent
copper RJ-45 10/100/1000 port. To set a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all combo ports on
a switch to forced fiber, use the
To set all combo ports on an entire switch to forced fiber mode, enter interfaces, followed by the slot
number and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set all combo ports on slot 2 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid forced-fiber
To set a single combo port to forced fiber, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the
port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set port 47 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 1/47 hybrid forced-fiber
To set a range of combo ports to forced fiber ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example,
to set combo ports 46 through 48 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 1/46-48 hybrid forced-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 forced fiber and document the interface
type as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 1/47 hybrid forced-fiber
