Configuring Duplex Mode; Enabling And Disabling Interfaces - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6624 Network Configuration Manual

Setting Ethernet Port Parameters
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 port 3 at 100 Mbps and docu-
ment the interface type as Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 speed 100
Note. Copper Gigabit Ethernet ports are always set to auto.

Configuring Duplex Mode

The interfaces duplex
or all ports on a switch (slot) to full (full duplex mode), half (half duplex mode), auto (auto-negotiation).
(The Auto option sets both the duplex mode and line speed settings to auto-negotiation.) 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 the
page 1-7, and "OmniSwitch 6600-U24" on page 1-7
Note. The Auto option sets both the duplex mode and line speed settings to auto-negotiation.
To configure the duplex mode on an entire slot enter interfaces followed by the slot number, duplex, and
the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the duplex mode on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2 duplex full
To configure the duplex mode on a single port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the
port number, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full, or half). For example, to set the duplex
mode on port 3 on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 duplex full
To configure the duplex mode on a range of ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, duplex, and the desired duplex setting (auto, full,
or half). For example, to set the duplex mode on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 to full enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 duplex full
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set the duplex mode on port 3 on slot 2 and document the port as
Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 duplex full

Enabling and Disabling Interfaces

The interfaces admin
or all ports on an entire switch (slot).
To enable or disable an entire slot enter interfaces followed by the slot number, admin, and the desired
administrative setting (either up or down). For example, to administratively disable slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 admin down
