Configuring Duplex Mode - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Ethernet Ports
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to configure the line speed on slot 2 port 3 at 100 Mbps and docu-
ment the interface type as Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 speed 100
Note. Copper Gigabit Ethernet ports are always set to auto.

Configuring Duplex Mode

The interfaces duplex
or all ports on a switch (slot) to full (full duplex mode), half (half duplex mode), auto (auto-negotiation).
(The Auto option causes the switch to advertise all available duplex modes (half/full/both) for the port
during autonegotiation.) In full duplex mode, the interface transmits and receives data simultaneously. In
half duplex mode, the interface can only transmit or receive data at a given time. (Available settings for
this command depend on the available line speeds of your hardware interface. See
page 1-6, "OmniSwitch 6624" on page
P24" on page 1-8, "OmniSwitch 6602-24" on page
information.)
Note. The Auto option sets both the duplex mode and line speed settings to auto-negotiation.
To configure the duplex mode on an entire slot enter interfaces followed by the slot number, duplex, and
the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the duplex mode on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2 duplex full
To configure the duplex mode on a single port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the port number, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the
duplex mode on port 3 on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 duplex full
To configure the duplex mode on a range of ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full,
or half). For example, to set the duplex mode on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 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 port 3 on slot 2 and document the port as
Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 duplex full
