portCfgSpeed

Configures a port to a particular speed level.

Synopsis portcfgspeed [slotnumber/]portnumber, speed_level

Description Use this command to configure the speed of a port to a particular level. After this command is

issued, the port is disabled and enabled so that the port comes up with the new speed setting. The

configuration is saved in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power

cycles. This configuration cannot be set on VE/VEX_Ports.

Use portShow to display the achieved speed and portCfgShow to display the user’s desired speed

setting.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
