Ethernet Ports Overview

Ethernet Ports Overview
This chapter describes the Ethernet software CLI commands used for configuring and monitoring the
Ethernet port parameters of your switch.

Valid Port Settings

This table below lists valid speed, duplex, and autonegotiation settings for the different OS10K port types.
Port Type
10/100/1000 Copper
Transceivers
See the Hardware Users Guide for more information about the hardware and port numbering for specific
models.

Configuring Ethernet Port Parameters

The following sections describe how to use CLI commands to configure ethernet ports.

Enabling and Disabling Autonegotiation

To enable or disable autonegotiation on a single port, a range of ports, or an entire slot, use the
command. For example:
-> interfaces 2/3 autoneg enable
-> interfaces 2/1-3 autoneg enable
-> interfaces 2 autoneg enable

Configuring Crossover Settings

To configure crossover settings on a single port, a range of ports, or an entire slot, use the
interfaces crossover
are not accepted.
Setting the crossover configuration to auto configures the interface or interfaces to automatically detect
crossover settings. Setting crossover configuration to mdix configures the interface or interfaces for
MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover), which is the standard for hubs and switches. Setting
crossover to mdi configures the interface or interfaces for MDI (Media Dependent Interface), which is the
standard for end stations.
For example:
-> interfaces 2/1 crossover auto
-> interfaces 2/2-5 crossover mdi
-> interfaces 3 crossover mdix
