Chapter 6 Port Configuration; Introduction To Port; Network Port Configuration Task List - Planet Networking & Communication WGSW-50040 Configuration Manual

6.1 Introduction to Port

Switch contain Cable ports and Combo ports. The Combo ports can be configured to as either 1000GX-TX
ports or SFP Gigabit fiber ports.
If the user needs to configure some network ports, he/she can use the interface ethernet <interface-list>
command to enter the appropriate Ethernet port configuration mode, where <interface-list> stands for one or
more ports. If <interface-list> contains multiple ports, special characters such as ';' or '-' can be used to
separate ports, ';' is used for discrete port numbers and '-' is used for consecutive port numbers. Suppose an
operation should be performed on ports 2, 3, 4, 5, the command would look like: interface ethernet 1/2-5. Port
speed, duplex mode and traffic control can be configured under Ethernet Port Mode causing the performance
of the corresponding network ports to change accordingly.
