Note that in the above syntax you can subsitute an “
int
” for “
interface
” and an
“
e
” for “
ethernet
”; that is
int e <
port-list
>
.

For port interface commands, the command line accepts only one parameter
at a time (instead of combining several in one command).
For example, to configure ports 1 through 4 and port 7 for 100Mbps full-duplex
with a broadcast limit of 20%, you would enter these commands:
SMC6624M(config)# int e 1-4,7 speed-duplex 100-full
SMC6624M(config)# int e 1-4,7 broadcast-limit 20
Similarly, to configure a single port with the settings in the above command,
you could either enter the same commands with only the one port identified,
or go to the
context level
for that port and then enter the commands. For
example, to enter the context level for port 7 and then configure that port for
100FDx with a broadcast limit of 20%:
SMC6624M(config)# int e 7
SMC6624M(eth-7)# speed-duplex 100-full
SMC6624M(eth-7)# broadcast-limit 20
If port 8 was disabled, and you wanted to enable it and configure it for 100FDx
with a broadcast limit of 20%, with flow-control active and a broadcast limit
of 20%, you could do so with either of the following command sets.
■
These commands enable and configures port 8 from the config level:
SMC6624M(config)# int e 8 enable
SMC6624M(config)# int e 8 speed-duplex 100-full
SMC6624M(config)# int e 8 broadcast-limit 20
SMC6624M(config)# int e 8 flow-control
■
These commands select the context level for port 8 and then apply all of
the configuration commands to port 8:
SMC6624M(config)# int e 8
SMC6624M(eth-8)# enable
SMC6624M(eth-8)# speed-duplex 100-full
SMC6624M(eth-8)# flow-control
SMC6624M(eth-8)# broadcast-limit 20
