Configuring Duplex Mode For Combo Ports - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Ethernet Ports
To set the line speed on a single combo port, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the
combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, and the desired speed. For example, to set the line
speed on slot 2 combo copper RJ-45 port 47 to 100 Mbps, enter:
-> interfaces 2/47 hybrid copper speed 100
To set the line speed on a range of combo ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the first combo port number, a hyphen (-), the last combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or copper,
and the desired speed. For example, to set the line speed on combo copper ports 46 through 48 on slot 2 to
100 Mbps, enter:
-> interfaces 2/46-48 hybrid copper speed 100
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to configure the line speed on slot 2 combo copper port 47 at 100
Mbps and document the interface type as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/47 hybrid copper speed 100

Configuring Duplex Mode for Combo Ports

The interfaces hybrid duplex
range of combo ports, or all combo ports on a switch (slot) to full (full duplex mode, which is the default
for 100 Mbps fiber SFP, 1 Gbps fiber SFP, and 1 Gbps XFP ports), half (half duplex mode), auto (auto-
negotiation, which is the default for copper RJ-45 ports). (The Auto option sets both the duplex mode and
line speed settings to autonegotiation.) In full duplex mode, the interface transmits and receives data
simultaneously. In half duplex mode, the interface can only transmit or receive data at a given time.
(Available settings for this command depend on the available line speeds of your hardware interface. See
"Valid Port Settings on OmniSwitch 6800 Series Switches" on page 37-5
OmniSwitch 6850 Series Switches" on page 37-5
Note. In the interface hybrid duplex command the copper keyword is used to configure the copper RJ-
45 10/100/1000 port while the fiber keyword is used to configure the fiber SFP connector.
To configure the duplex mode on an entire slot, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, hybrid,
either fiber or copper, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the
duplex mode on all fiber combo ports on slot 2 to full, enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid fiber duplex full
Note. using the interface hybrid duplex command to set all combo ports on a switch, will not affect the
configurations of the non-combo ports.
To configure the duplex mode on a single combo port, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or copper, duplex, and the desired duplex setting
(auto, full, or half). For example, to set the duplex mode on the fiber combo port 47 on slot 2 to full,
enter:
-> interfaces 2/47 hybrid fiber duplex full
To configure the duplex mode on a range of combo ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first combo port number, a hyphen (-), the last combo port number, hybrid, either fiber or
