Setting Ethernet Port Parameters
To configure the peak flood rate for a single port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the port number, flood rate, and the flood rate in bytes. For example, to configure the peak flood rate on
port 3 on slot 2 as 42 bytes enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 flood rate 42
To configure the peak flood rate for a range of ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash
(/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, flood rate, and the flood rate in bytes. For
example, to configure the peak flood rate on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 as 42 bytes enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 flood rate 42
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to configure the peak flood rate on port 52 on slot 2 as 42 bytes and
document the port as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/52 flood rate 42

Configuring a Port Alias

The interfaces alias
cannot configure an entire switch or a range of ports.) To use this command enter interfaces followed by
the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, alias, and the text description, which can be up to 40 charac-
ters long.
For example, to configure an alias of "ip_phone1" for port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 alias ip_phone1
Note. Spaces must be contained within quotes (e.g., "IP Phone 1").
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to configure an alias of "ip_phone1" for port 3 on slot 2 and docu-
ment the port as Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 alias ip_phone1
Configuring Auto Negotiation, Crossover, and Flow Control
Settings
The following subsections describe how to enable and disable auto negotiation (see
Disabling Auto Negotiation" on page

Enabling and Disabling Auto Negotiation

By default, auto negotiation is enabled. To enable or disable auto negotiation on a single port, a range of
ports, or an entire slot use the
page 1-17 and "Enabling and Disabling Flow" on page 1-18
To enable or disable auto negotiation on an entire switch enter interfaces followed by the slot number,
autoneg, and either enable or disable. For example, to enable auto negotiation on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 autoneg enable
