SET PORT AUTOSENSE
SET PORT AUTOSENSE
Use the SET PORT AUTOSENSE command to enable or disable the automatic
sensing feature. This command applies to the CoreBuilder 5000 EtherFlex
Module (Model Number 6104M-MOD) with a 10BASE-FB/FL I/O Card.
The autosense feature automatically determines the protocol (FB or FL) being
used on the network.
If autosensing is enabled, the protocol running on the port is shown by the
media sense field of the SHOW MODULE command, and not the media
configuration field.
Format
Example
The following command enables the autosensing feature on all ports on the
Etherflex module located in slot 1:
CB5000> set port 1.all autosense enable
AUTOSENSE mode set to ENABLE.
Related Command
SHOW PORT
