Configuring a Port
Each WX switch port has a number but does not have a name by default.
Name
Setting a Port Name
To set a port name, use the following command:
set port port name name
You can specify only a single port number with the command.
To set the name of port 2 to adminpool, type the following command:
WX1200# set port 2 name adminpool
success: change accepted.
To avoid confusion, 3Com recommends that you do not use numbers as
port names.
Removing a Port Name
To remove a port name, use the following command:
clear port port-list name
Configuring Interface
The gigabit Ethernet ports on a WX4400 have two physical interfaces: a
Preference on a
1000BASE-TX copper interface and a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX
Dual-Interface
fiber interface. The copper interface is provided by a built-in RJ-45
Gigabit Ethernet Port
connector. The fiber interface is optional and requires insertion of a
(WX4400 only)
Gigabit interface converter (GBIC).
Only one interface can be active on a port. By default, MSS prefers the
GBIC (fiber) interface. You can configure a port to prefer the RJ-45
(copper) interface instead.
If you set the preference to RJ-45 on a port that already has an active
fiber link, MSS immediately changes the link to the copper interface.
To configure a port to prefer the copper interface, use the following
command:
set port preference port-list rj45
To remove the preference setting from a port, use the following
command:
clear port preference port-list
