Specifying media type and duplex mode

The blades each have a set of twelve SFP connector optic interfaces, a set of
eight RJ45 10/100/1000 copper interfaces, and two 10GbE XFP optic
interfaces that are connected internally. Each set of interfaces is numbered
from 2.1 through 2.12. It is important to note some facts about these
interfaces:
• The SFP connectors can each support 1000 Mbit speed with a 1 GbE
optic module installed.
• The SFP connectors support F5-qualified copper SFP modules which
operate at 10/100/1000 Mbit speeds.
From the command line interface, use the following syntax to display the
current status and the settings for all installed interfaces:
b interface show
Figure 4.2 shows an example of the output you see when you issue this
command on an active/standby platform in active mode.

Use the following syntax to display the current status and the setting for a
specific interface:
