3-14 CHAPTER 3: ACCESSING THE SWITCH
To configure the Switch to autonegotiate, use the following command:
config port <portlist> auto on
Port Commands Table 3-7 describes port commands.
Load Sharing Load sharing with Switch 9000 Switches allows you to increase
bandwidth and resilience by using a group of ports to carry traffic in
parallel between Switches. The sharing algorithm allows the Switch to
use multiple ports as a single logical port. For example, VLANs see the
load-sharing group as a single virtual port. The algorithm also
guarantees packet sequencing between clients.
If a port in a load-sharing group fails, traffic is redistributed to the
remaining ports in the load-sharing group. If the failed port becomes
active again, traffic is redistributed to include that port.
Table 3-7 Port Commands
Command Description
config port <portlist> auto on Allows you to enable 802.3z autonegotiation.
config port <portlist> auto off duplex
full
Allows you to disable autonegotiation on one or more
ports.
enable port <portlist> Allows you to enable one or more ports.
disable port <portlist> Allows you to disable one or more ports. Even when
disabled, the link is available for diagnostic purposes.
show port <portlist> config Displays state, link status, speed, and autonegotiation
setting for each port.
show port <portlist> stats Displays port information including physical layer
configuration and statistics.
show port <portlist> errors Displays error information for one or more ports.
show port <portlist> collisions Displays real-time collision statistics.
show port <portlist> packet Displays a histogram of packet statistics for one or more
ports.
show port <portlist> util Displays port utilization by percentage, bytes per
second, or packets per second. Use the space bar to
toggle between percentage, bytes per second, or
packets per second. Use the clear counters command to
