SET PORT TYPE
SET PORT TYPE
Use the SET PORT TYPE command to define ports on any ONline FDDI Media
Module as master or slave ports. All FDDI Media Module ports default to a Type
M (master). Ports 1 and 2 can, however, be designated as Type S (slave) ports.
Designate your S ports before enabling the ports on the module.
Ports 3 through 8 operate only as Type M ports. Therefore, the SET PORT TYPE
command is not available for ports 3 through 8. Refer to the appropriate FDDI
module documentation for information on Type M and Type S ports.
Format
Example
The following command sets port 1 in slot 7 to be a slave port:
CB5000> set port 7.1 type slave
Type set to SLAVE.
