Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Modifying Port Mode
You can configure a port to accept either full-duplex (bi-directional) or half-duplex (uni-directional) traffic. This
option is available only for 10/100 Mbps ports. The 100BaseFx, 1000BaseSx, and 1000BaseLx ports operate
only at full-duplex.
USING THE CLI
Port duplex mode and port speed are modified by the same command.
To change the port speed of interface 8 from the default of 10/100 auto-sense to 10 Mbps operating at full-duplex,
enter the following:
BigIron(config)# interface e8
BigIron(config-if-8)# speed-duplex 10-full
Syntax: speed-duplex <value>
The <value> can be one of the following:
• 10-full
• 10-half
• 100-full
• 100-half
• auto
The default is auto.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
To modify port mode:
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
3. Select the Port link to display the Port table.
4. Click on the Modify button next to the row of information for the port you want to reconfigure.
5. Click next to Full Duplex to select or de-select full duplex mode. Full-duplex mode is selected when the radio
button (small circle) next to Full Duplex contains a black dot.
6. Click Apply to save the changes to the device's running-config file.
7. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
Disabling or Re-Enabling a Port
The port can be made inactive (disable) or active (enable) by selecting the appropriate status option. The default
value for a port is enabled.
USING THE CLI
To disable port 8 on module 1 of a Foundry Chassis device, enter the following:
BigIron(config)# interface e 1/8
BigIron(config-if-1/8)# disable
Syntax: disable
Syntax: enable
You also can disable or re-enable a virtual interface. To do so, enter commands such as the following:
