To configure crossover settings on a single port enter
interfaces
followed by the slot number, a slash (
/
),
the port number,
crossover
, and the desired setting. For
example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 crossover auto
To configure crossover settings on a range of ports enter
interfaces
followed by the slot number, a slash
(
/
), the first port number, a hyphen (
-
), the last port number,
crossover
, and the desired setting.
For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on ports 1
through 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 crossover auto
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering
ethernet
,
fastethernet
, or
gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on port 3 on slot 2 and
document the port as Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 crossover auto
Enabling and Disabling Flow
By default, flow (pause) is enabled. To enable or disable flow control on a single port, a range of ports, or
an entire NI use the
interfaces flow
command. Please note that if auto negotiation is disabled then flow
control will also be disabled.
To enable or disable flow control on an entire switch enter
interfaces
followed by the slot number,
flow
,
and either
enable
or
disable
. For example, to enable flow control on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 flow enable
To enable or disable flow control on a single port enter
interfaces
followed by the slot number, a
slash (
/
), the port number,
flow
, and either
enable
or
disable
. For example, to enable flow control on port
3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 flow enable
To enable or disable flow control on a range of ports enter
interfaces
followed by the slot number, a slash
(
/
), the first port number, a hyphen (
-
), the last port number,
flow
, and either
enable
or
disable
. For exam-
ple, to enable flow control on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 flow enable
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering
ethernet
,
fastethernet
, or
gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to enable flow control on port 3 on slot 2 and document the port as
Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 flow enable
Note.
If auto negotiation is disabled and then later enabled on an interface, the original flow setting will
then be restored.
