Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference
interface ge?
interface ge?
To set various operational parameters associated with the Gigabit Ethernet interface, such as the size of
the maximum transfer unit (MTU) or the use of VLANs, use the interface ge? command. To disable the
use of VLANs, use the no form of this command. To specify that auto negotiation will never be used on
this interface, use the interface ge? no autonegotiation command.
interface ge? {autonegotiation [autodetect] | mtusize {nn |default}
interface ge? no autonegotiation
interface ge? vlan enable
no interface ge? vlan enable
Syntax Description
Defaults MTU size defaults to 1500 bytes. Auto negotiation defaults to autodetect. For storage routers deployed
for SCSI routing, the use of VLANs is enabled by default.
Command Modes Administrator.
Command History
Usage Guidelines All storage routers in a cluster should be configured with the same MTU size and other interface-specific
parameters, allowing failover of applications to provide consistent performance characteristics.
If the SN 5428-2 is deployed for FCIP, a larger MTU size is desirable. Set the MTU size to 9000 bytes,
if possible.
Use the no interface ge? vlan enable command to quickly restrict VLAN functionality on the Gigabit
Ethernet interface for troubleshooting purposes.
ge? The name of the interface for which you are setting this parameter. When
you type the interface ge? command, the CLI lists the interfaces available.
You cannot specify a nonexistent interface.
autonegotiation Auto negotiation will always be used on this interface.
autonegotiation
autodetect
Automatically detect if auto negotiation should be used for this interface.
This is the default setting.
mtusize nn The size of the MTU, in bytes. nn is an integer between 1500 and 9000
inclusive.
mtusize default Reset the value to the factory default of 1500 bytes.
vlan enable Enable VLANs for this interface. This is the default.
