[. . . ] · All links in a trunk must operate at the same data rate and duplex mode. Example The following example creates trunk 1 and then adds port 11: Console(config)#interface port-channel 1 Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/11 Console(config-if)#channel-group 1 Console(config-if)# description Use this command to add a description to an interface. Use the no form to remove the description. Syntax description string no description string - Comment or a description to help you remember what is attached to this interface. (Range: 1-64 characters) Default Setting None Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel) Example The following example adds a description to Ethernet port 15. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/15 Console(config-if)#description RD-SW#3 Console(config-if)# speed-duplex Use this command to configure the speed and duplex mode of a given interface when autonegotiation is disabled. Syntax speed-duplex {1000full | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half} no speed-duplex · 1000full - Forces 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation (Not supported on the EdgeIron 2402CF and the EdgeIron 4802CF) · 100full - Forces 100 Mbps full-duplex operation · 100half - Forces 100 Mbps half-duplex operation · 10full - Forces 10 Mbps full-duplex operation · 10half - Forces 10 Mbps half-duplex operation 17-14 © 2006 Foundry Networks, Inc. March 2006 Interface Commands Default Setting · Auto-negotiation is enabled by default. · When auto-negotiation is disabled, the default speed-duplex setting is 1000full for Gigabit Ethernet ports. · For the EdgeIron 2402CF and EdgeIron 4802CF the default is 100full. Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel) Command Usage · To force operation to the speed and duplex mode specified in a speed-duplex command, use the no negotiation command to disable auto-negotiation on the selected interface. · When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To set the speed/duplex mode under auto-negotiation, the required mode must be specified in the capabilities list for an interface. · After you configure 1000full on both sides of the link, on the EdgeIron side you need to re-enable negotiation, disable it again, and configure 1000full again in order for the link to work. Example The following example configures port 5 (on the EdgeIron 24G-A or 48G) to 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation, master mode. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5 Console(config-if)#speed-duplex 1000full Console(config-if)#giga-phy-mode master Console(config-if)#no negotiation The following example configures port 5 (on the EdgeIron 24G-A or 48G) to 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation, slave mode. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5 Console(config-if)#no negotiation Console(config-if)#speed 1000full Console(config-if)#giga-phy-mode slave Related Commands negotiation (17-15) capabilities (17-16) negotiation Use this command to enable auto-negotiation for a given interface. Use the no form to disable autonegotiation. Syntax negotiation no negotiation Default Setting Enabled Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel) March 2006 © 2006 Foundry Networks, Inc. 17-15 Foundry EdgeIron User Guide Command Usage · When auto-negotiation is enabled the switch will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the capabilities command. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link attributes with the speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands. · If auto-negotiation is disabled, auto-MDI/MDI-X pin signal configuration will also be disabled for the RJ-45 ports. Note: Auto MDI/MDIX cannot work at forced mode. Example The following example configures port 11 to use auto-negotiation. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/11 Console(config-if)#negotiation Related Commands capabilities (17-16) speed-duplex (17-14) flowcontrol (17-17) capabilities Use this command to advertise the port capabilities of a given interface during auto-negotiation. Use the no form with parameters to remove an advertised capability, or the no form without parameters to restore the default values. Syntax capabilities {1000full | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half | flowcontrol | symmetric} no port-capabilities [1000full | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half | flowcontrol | symmetric] · 1000full - Supports 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation · 100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation · 100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation · 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation · 10half - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation · flowcontrol - Supports flow control · symmetric (Gigabit only) - When specified, the port transmits and receives pause frames; when not specified, the port will auto-negotiate to determine the sender and receiver for asymmetric pause frames. (The current switch ASIC only supports symmetric pause frames. ) Note: Flow control setting applies only to forced-mode configuration. [. . . ] It adds useful capabilities for subnet routing, authentication, and multicast transmissions. Secure Shell (SSH) A secure replacement for remote access functions, including Telnet. SSH can authenticate users with a cryptographic key, and encrypt data connections between management clients and the switch. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) A standard host-to-host mail transport protocol that operates over TCP, port 25. [. . . ]
