Command Line Interface
physicalInterface ethernet portMode
Specifying the Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation Mode
You can specify the speed, duplex, and autonegotiation mode of Ethernet ports on the
Switch using the portMode command on the Ethernet menu.
To specify the speed, duplex, and autonegotiation mode of a port:
1. At the Top-level menu, enter:
physicalInterface ethernet portMode
The following prompt is displayed:
Select Ethernet port (unit:port...,?):
2. Enter the number of the unit and port to have its mode specified.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter auto-negotiation mode (enable,disable)[enable]:
3. Enable or disable autonegotiation as required.
If you entered enable the following prompt is displayed:
Enter fallback port mode (10half,10full,100half,100full)[100half]:
If you entered disable the following prompt is displayed:
Enter port mode (10half,10full,100half,100full)[100full]:
The auto-negotiation mode and port mode options will vary depending on your
type of Switch unit.
4. Enter the new fixed speed and duplex mode of the port. This will be used as a
fallback if you enabled auto-negotiation.
If you are specifying the speed and duplex mode of all the ports, only the ports
which can support the new speed and duplex mode are changed.
CAUTION: To communicate without errors, both ends of a link must use the
same duplex mode.
You can enter a single line version of this command, which does not require you to
wait for each prompt. For example, from the top level menu at the Select menu
option: prompt, enter: physicalInterface ethernet portMode 1:1 enable 100half
