SWITCH PORT COMMANDS
The switch port commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
Command Parameters
config ports [<portlist | all>] { medium_type [copper|fiber ] | speed [auto | 10_half | 10_full |100_half |
100_full | 1000_full]} | flow_control [enable | disable] | learning [enable | disable] | state
[enable | disable] | trap [enable | disable] | description <desc 32> | mdix [auto |normal
|cross]}
show ports [<portlist>] {description | err_disabled]}}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config ports
Purpose Used to configure the Switch’s Ethernet port settings.
Syntax
config ports [<portlist | all>] { medium_type [copper|fiber] | speed [auto | 10_half |
10_full |100_half | 100_full | 1000_full]} | flow_control [enable | disable] | learning
[enable | disable] | state [enable | disable] | trap [enable | disable] | description
<desc 32> | mdix [auto |normal |cross] }
Description This command allows for the configuration of the Switch’s Ethernet ports. Only the ports
listed in the <portlist> will be affected.
Parameters
all − Configure all ports on the Switch.
<portlist> − Specifies a port or range of ports to be configured.
medium_type [copper | fiber] – Allows the user to adjust the medium type of ports.
speed – Allows the user to adjust the speed for a port or range of ports. The user has a
choice of the following:
• auto − Enables auto-negotiation for the specified range of ports.
• [10 | 100 | 1000] − Configures the speed in Mbps for the specified range of
ports. Gigabit ports are statically set to 1000 and cannot be set to slower
speeds.
• [half | full] − Configures the specified range of ports as either full-duplex or half-
duplex.
flow_control [enable | disable] – Enable or disable flow control for the specified ports.
learning [enable | disable] − Enables or disables the MAC address learning on the
specified range of ports.
state [enable | disable] − Enables or disables the specified range of ports.
trap [enable | disable] − Enables or disables trap support on the switch.
description <desc 32> - Enter an alphanumeric string of no more than 32 characters to
describe a selected port interface.
mdix [auto | normal | cross] - MDIX mode can be specified as auto, normal, or cross.
If set to normal state, the port in MDIX mode, can be connected to PC NIC using a
straight cable. If set to cross state, the port in mdi mode, can be connected to a port (in
mdix mode) on another switch through a straight cable.
Restrictions Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the speed of port 3 to be 10 Mbps, full duplex, with learning and state enabled:
DES-3526:admin#config ports 1-3 speed 10_full learning
enable state enable
