To set the port speed on ports 1 and 5 to 10 Mbps, type the following command:
WSS# set port speed 1, 5 10
Gigabit Ports—autonegotiation and flow control
WSS gigabit ports use autonegotiation by default to determine capabilities for 802.3z flow control parameters. The
gigabit ports can respond to IEEE 802.3z flow control packets. Some devices use this capability to prevent packet loss
by temporarily pausing data transmission.
To disable flow control negotiation on a WSS gigabit port, use the following command:
set port negotiation port-list {enable | disable}
Disabling a port
All ports are enabled by default. To administratively disable a port, use the following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
A port that is administratively disabled cannot send or receive packets. This command does not affect the link state of
the port.
Disabling power over ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies DC power to a device connected to an AP access port. The PoE state depends on
whether you enable or disable PoE when you set the port type. (See “Setting the port type” (page 89).)
To change the PoE state on a port, use the following command:
set port poe port-list enable | disable
Note. The gigabit Ethernet ports operate at 1000 Mbps only. They do not change speed
to match 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps links.
Caution! Use the WSS’s PoE only to power Nortel APs. If you enable PoE on ports
connected to other devices, damage can result.
Note. PoE is supported only on 10/100 Ethernet ports. PoE is not supported on any
gigabit Ethernet ports, or on ports 7 and 8 on a 2360/2361 switch, or port 1 on a 2350, or
port 3 on an 2382.
