Step Command Remarks
2. Enter Ethernet interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Activate the copper combo
port or fiber combo port.
combo enable { copper | fiber }
By default, the copper combo port
is active.
When the loopback command is
running on a combo interface, you
cannot use the combo enable
command on the combo interface.
Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface
You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:
• Full-duplex mode (full)—Interfaces can send and receive packets simultaneously.
• Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces cannot send and receive packets simultaneously.
• Autonegotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces negotiate a duplex mode with their peers.
You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its
peer.
To configure an Ethernet interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

N/A
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Set the interface
description.
description text
The default setting is in the format of
interface-name Interface. For example,
Ethernet1/1 Interface.
4. Set the duplex mode of
the Ethernet interface.
duplex { auto | full | half }
The default setting is full for 10-GE
interfaces and auto for other Ethernet
interfaces.
Fiber ports do not support the half
keyword.
5. Set the port speed.
speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 |
10000 | auto }
By default, an Ethernet interface
automatically negotiates a speed with its
peer.
The 10000 keyword is supported only on
10-GE interfaces of an MSR4000 router.
6. Configure the expected
bandwidth of the
interface.
bandwidth bandwidth-value
By default, the expected bandwidth (in
kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by
1000.
7. Restore the default
settings for the Ethernet
interface.
default N/A
8. Bring up the Ethernet
interface.
undo shutdown By default, the interface is in down state.
