5. Port Configuration
5.1
Introduction to Port
Switch contains Cable ports and Combo ports. The Combo ports can be configured
as either 1000GX-TX ports or SFP Gigabit fiber ports.
If the user needs to configure some network ports, he/she can use the interface
ethernet <interface-list> command to enter the appropriate Ethernet port configuration
mode, where <interface-list> stands for one or more ports. If <interface-list> contains
multiple ports, special characters such as ';' or '-' can be used to separate ports, ';' is used
for discrete port numbers and '-' is used for consecutive port numbers. Suppose an
operation should be performed on ports 2,3,4,5 the command would look like: interface
ethernet 1/0/2-5. Port speed, duplex mode and traffic control can be configured under
Ethernet Port Mode causing the performance of the corresponding network ports to
change accordingly.
