Command
Description
remote-fault-detect
Enables remote fault detection on the configured interface that is
connected to a 100Base Fiber pair.
packet-size-limit
Sets the packet-size limit. Range is <512-9216>.
crossover
Enables crossover detection, which allows the device port to
automatically detect transmit and receive of the Ethernet cable (i.e.,
the type of the cable is irrelevant).
Accessing the Interface Configuration Mode
The
interface
command, in Global Configuration mode, enables configuration of a specific
physical interface.
The command changes the device configuration mode into Interface Configuration mode.
Following execution of the command, the prompt line displays the interface
unit
,
slot
and
port
numbers.
If this command is applied when the device is in Interface Configuration mode, the mode is
changed to the specified Interface Configuration mode (for example, this command can be used to
change the mode from Interface 1/1/1 Configuration mode to Interface 1/1/2 Configuration mode).
Command Syntax
device-name
(config)#
interface UU/SS/PP
device-name
(config-if
UU/SS/PP
)#
device-name
(config-if
UU1/SS1/PP1
)#
interface UU2/SS2/PP2
device-name
(config-if
UU2/SS2/PP
2)#
Argument Description
UU/SS/PP
Represent the unit, slot and port numbers of the configured interface.
Enabling Configuration of a Group of Physical Interfaces
The
interface range
command, in Global Configuration mode, enables configuration of a group of
physical interfaces.
The command changes the device configuration mode into Interface Group Configuration mode. In
the Interface Group Configuration mode the user can set the same configuration for a list of ports
without entering each port individually.
If this command is applied when the device is in Interface Group Configuration mode, the mode is
changed to the specified Interface Group Configuration mode (for example, this command can be
used to change the mode from Interface Group 1/1/1-1/1/8 Configuration mode to Interface Group
1/1/9-1/1/12 Configuration mode).
