12 • Ethernet port configuration
Note
The following restrictions apply:
•
SN1x00: Both Ethernet ports support 10 Mbps half-duplex
•
SN2300: Ethernet port 0/1 supports 10 Mbps half-duplex
•
SN4xxx: Ethernet port 0/1 pretends to be a 100-Mbps port. However the
speed is internally limited to 10 Mbps.
Example: Configuring medium for an Ethernet port
The following example shows how to configure medium auto-sense for the Ethernet port on slot 0 and port 0
of a SmartNode 1000, 2000, or 4000 series device.
SN(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]#medium auto
Configuring Ethernet encapsulation type for an Ethernet port
This procedure describes how to configure the encapsulation type to IP for the Ethernet port on slot and port
Mode: Configure
Step
1
node (cfg)#port ethernet slot port
2
node (prt-eth)[ slot/port ]#encapsulation ip
Example: Configuring Ethernet encapsulation type for an Ethernet port
The following example shows how to configure the encapsulation type to IP for the Ethernet port on slot 0 and
port 0 of a SmartNode 1000, 2000, or 4000 series device.
SN(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]#encapsulation ip
Binding an Ethernet port to an IP interface
You must bind the Ethernet port to an existing IP interface. At the time of executing the bind command, the
requested interface must exist. If no IP context is given, the system attaches the interface to the default IP con-
text known as router.
