13 • Ethernet port configuration
Entering the Ethernet port configuration mode
To enter port configuration mode and begin configuring an Ethernet port, enter the command
port ethernet
slot port in administrator execution mode. The keywords slot and port represent the number of the respective
physical entity as show in
table 6
.
Since a port must be configured unambiguously, choose the appropriate expansion slot and port number. The num-
ber and type of available ports depend upon your IPLink model, and also on the interface card fit for IPLink series
devices. All permanent on-board interfaces of an IPLink are described as being on slot 0.
Configuring medium for an Ethernet port
All Ethernet ports are configured by default to auto-sense both the port speed and the duplex mode. This is the
recommended configuration. Supported command options are:
•
10
—for 10 Mbps
•
100
—for 100 Mbps
•
auto
—for auto-sense the port speed
•
half
—for half-duplex
•
full
—for full-duplex
