Management Ethernet Interface Configuration; Basic Ethernet Port Configuration - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

For a Combo port, only one port (either the optical port or the electrical port) is active at a time. That
is, once the optical port is active, the electrical port will be inactive automatically, and vice versa.
You can use the display port combo command to display the Combo ports on the current device
and the mappings between the optical and electrical ports.
You can judge whether a port is optical or electrical by the Media type is field in the display
interface command output.

Management Ethernet Interface Configuration

Introduction to management Ethernet interface
A management Ethernet interface also uses an RJ-45 connector. It can be used to connect a
background PC for software loading and system debugging, or connect to a remote device, for example,
a remote network management station, for remote system management. It has the attributes of a
common Ethernet interface, but because it is located on the main board, it provides much faster
connection speed than a common Ethernet interface when used for operations such as software
loading and network management.
Configuring a management Ethernet interface
Follow these steps to configure a management Ethernet interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter management Ethernet

Set the description string
Shut down the management
Ethernet interface

Basic Ethernet Port Configuration

Three types of duplex modes are available to Ethernet ports:
Full-duplex mode (full). Ports operating in this mode can send and receive packets simultaneously.
Half-duplex mode (half). Ports operating in this mode can either send or receive packets at a given
time.
Auto-negotiation mode (auto). Ports operating in this mode determine their duplex mode through
auto-negotiation.
