Setting The Media Type; Setting The Duplex Mode - Dell 3-DNS Administrator's Manual

Setting the media type

Setting the duplex mode

®
3-DNS Administrator Guide
You can set the media type for the interface card either to the specific media
type or to auto for auto detection. If the media type is set to auto and the
card does not support auto detection, the default type for that interface is
used, for example 100BaseTX.
Use the following syntax to set the media type:
b interface <if_name> media <media_type> | auto
(Default media type is auto.)
Note
If the 3-DNS Controller is inter-operating with an external switch, the
media setting should match that of the switch. To accomplish this, it is best
to specify the setting explicitly, and not rely on automatic detection using
auto.
You can set duplex mode to full or half duplex. If the media type does not
allow duplex mode to be set, this is indicated by an onscreen message. If
media type is set to auto, or if setting duplex mode is not supported for the
interface, the duplex setting is not saved to bigip.conf.
Use the following syntax to set the duplex mode:
b interface <if_name> duplex
(Default mode is auto.)
Note
If the 3-DNS Controller is inter-operating with an external switch, the
media setting should match that of the switch. To accomplish this, it is best
to specify the setting explicitly, and not rely on automatic detection using
auto.
