The following table describes how the speed and negotiation auto commands work with dierent modes of a combo port:
Table 39. Behavior on Combo Ports
Mode Behavior of speed Behavior of negotiation auto
Auto/Hybrid Cannot be congured and an error is
displayed.
Cannot be congured and no error is
displayed.
Copper Can be congured. Can be congured.
Fiber Cannot be congured. Cannot be congured.
When SFP is inserted on copper-provisioned combo port, the system displays a syslog message.
NOTE: When the port is provisioned as ber and a copper cable is inserted, it is not detected by the device and hence no syslog
message is displayed.
If SFP is present when the port is being provisioned as copper, the system displays a syslog message.
NOTE: When the port is provisioned as ber, the presence of copper cable is not detected by the device and hence no syslog
message is displayed.
View Advanced Interface Information
The following options have been implemented for the show [ip | running-config] interfaces commands for (only) linecard
interfaces.
When you use the configured keyword, only interfaces that have non-default congurations are displayed. Dummy linecard interfaces
(created with the linecard command) are treated like any other physical interface.
Examples of the show Commands
The following example lists the possible show commands that have the congured keyword available:
Dell#show interfaces configured
Dell#show interfaces linecard 0 configured
Dell#show interfaces tengigabitethernet 0 configured
Dell#show ip interface configured
Dell#show ip interface linecard 1 configured
Dell#show ip interface tengigabitethernet 1 configured
Dell#show ip interface br configured
Dell#show ip interface br linecard 1 configured
Dell#show ip interface br tengigabitethernet 1 configured
Dell#show running-config interfaces configured
Dell#show running-config interface tengigabitethernet 1 configured
In EXEC mode, the show interfaces switchport command displays only interfaces in Layer 2 mode and their relevant
conguration information. The show interfaces switchport command displays the interface, whether it supports IEEE 802.1Q
tagging or not, and the VLANs to which the interface belongs.
