ONFIGURING
By default, the BlackDiamond is configured to use autonegotiation to determine the
port speed and duplex setting for each port. You can select to manually configure the
duplex setting and the speed of 10/100 Mbps ports, and you can manually configure
the duplex setting on Gigabit Ethernet ports.
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX ports can connect to either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T
networks. By default, the ports autonegotiate port speed. You can also configure each
port for a particular speed (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
Gigabit Ethernet ports are statically set to 1 Gbps, and their speed cannot be modified.
To configure port speed and duplex setting, use the following command:
config port <slot:portlist> auto off {speed [10 | 100]} duplex [half |
full]
To configure the system to autonegotiate, use the following command:
config port <slot:portlist> auto on

URNING FF UTONEGOTIATION FOR A
In certain interoperability situations, you may need to turn autonegotiation off on a
Gigabit Ethernet port. Even though a Gigabit Ethernet port runs only at full duplex, you
must specify the duplex setting.
The following example turns autonegotiation off for port 1 on a G4X or G6X module
located in slot 1:
config port 1:1 auto off duplex full
