Port Configuration

On this page, you can view and edit port parameters. For each port number listed under the Port column, you can change the following parameters listed by column name on the screen:

Name/Type — Allows a user-defined label for the port. Port types include:
- 1000Base-SX — Port 1 - 6 are 1000Base-SX fiber ports connected to the server blades.
- 1000Base-TX — Port 7 - 10 are 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 uplink ports.
- 100Base-TX — Port 11 is the 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port attached to the remote access module in the chassis.
Admin/Oper — Allows the network administrator to manually disable a port. Indicates the status of the link: Up or Down.
Speed/Duplex Mode — Allows manual selection of port speed and duplex mode. Indicates the current port speed and mode.
Flow Control — Allows automatic or manual selection of support for flow control. Indicates the type of flow control currently in use.
Autonegotiation/Port Capabilities — Allows autonegotiation to be enabled/disabled. Advertised capabilities include:
- 10h — supports 10 Mbps half duplex.
- 10f — supports 10 Mbps full duplex.
- 100h — supports 100 Mbps half duplex.
- 100f — supports 100 Mbps full duplex.
- 1000f — supports 1000 Mbps full duplex.
- Sym — supports symmetric operation of full-duplex flow control. The port can transmit and receive pause frames for flow control (Gigabit ports only).
- FC — supports full-duplex flow control.
Trunk — Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk.

NOTE: Autonegotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force the port to use the Speed/Duplex Mode or Flow Control options.

NOTE: The uplink ports cannot operate at 1000 Mbps, half duplex.

CLI Commands

The following is a summary of the equivalent CLI commands for items in the Switch/Ports/Port Configuration web page.

Command	Usage
interface ethernet unit/port	Use this command to configure an Ethernet port interface and enter interface configuration mode. (LINK)
shutdown	Use this command to disable an interface. To restart a disabled interface, use the no form. (LINK)
description string	Use this command to add a description to an interface. (LINK)
speed-duplex {1000full \| 100full \| 100half \| 10full \| 10half}	Use this command to configure the speed and duplex mode of a given interface when autonegotiation is disabled. (LINK)
negotiation	Use this command to enable autonegotiation for a given interface. Use the no form to disable autonegotiation. (LINK)
capabilities {1000full \| 100full \| 100half \| 10full \| 10half \| flowcontrol \| symmetric}	Use this command to advertise the port capabilities of a given interface during autonegotiation. (LINK)
flowcontrol	Use this command to enable flow control. (LINK)
show interfaces status [ethernet unit/port]	Use this command to display status for enabled interfaces. (LINK)
show interfaces switchport [ethernet unit/port]	Use this command to display the configuration for a port. (LINK)

Example

(config)#interface ethernet 1/7
(config-if)#
(config-if)#description RD SW#3
(config-if)#no negotiation
(config-if)#speed-duplex 100half
(config-if)#flowcontrol
