Port speed, duplex mode, and polarity
Port speed, duplex mode, and polarity
In most networks, you will not need to change the port speed, duplex mode, or polarity,
because the ports automatically negotiate suitable settings.
This section describes how to change them, if you need to.
Enter
Interface
mode
All three are interface settings, so you first enter Interface Configuration mode for the port
or port range you want to configure, by entering one of the commands:
awplus(config)#interface port
x.y.z
awplus(config)#interface port
x.y.z-x.y.z
The prompt changes to:
awplus(config-if)#
How to set the speed
The following table shows the speed options for each type of port.
To change the speed, first enter Interface Configuration mode for the port or port range you
want to configure. Then enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#speed <
value
>
For example, to set the speed of a tri-speed port to
1
00Mbps, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#speed 100
To return the port to autonegotiating its speed, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#speed auto
