Command Line Interface
physicalInterface ethernet portCapabilities
Setting the Port Capabilities
You can modify the port capabilities that are advertised when your switch has auto-
negotiation enabled using the portCapabilities command on the ethernet menu.
This command gives you greater control over auto-negotiation. For example, you may
want to restrict the bandwidth of certain ports (whilst allowing auto-negotiation of duplex
mode), or to restrict auto-negotiation where there are compatibility issues.
To set the port capabilities:
1. At the Top-level menu, enter:
physicalInterface ethernet portCapabilities
The following prompt is displayed:
Select Ethernet port (unit:port,?):
2. Enter the number of the unit and port to be modified.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter new advertised capabilities - comma separated or all
(10half,10full,100half,100full,flowControl,all)
[10half,10full,100half,100full,flowControl]:
The advertised port capabilities will vary depending on your type of Switch
unit. If there are no ports on the Switch that can advertise their capabilities then
the Switch will display the message No ports to select.
3. Enter, for example, 100full, 100half or all.
