Chapter 13 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Setting the Type of a Dual-Purpose Uplink Port
Some IE 3000 switches support dual-purpose uplink ports. By default, the switch dynamically selects
the interface type that first links up. However, you can use the
media-type
interface configuration
command to manually select the RJ-45 connector or the SFP module connector. For more information,
see the
“Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports” section on page 13-4
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to select which dual-purpose uplink to activate so
that you can set the speed and duplex. This procedure is optional.
Auto-MDIX
Enabled.
Note
The switch might not support a pre-standard powered
device—such as Cisco IP phones and access points that do
not fully support IEEE 802.3af—if that powered device is
connected to the switch through a crossover cable. This is
regardless of whether auto-MIDX is enabled on the switch
port.
Keepalive messages
Disabled on SFP module ports; enabled on all other ports.
