Page 6 | AlliedWare Plus™ OS How To Note: Switching
Port speed, duplex mode, and polarity
How to set the duplex mode
By default, ports autonegotiate duplex mode (except for
1
00Base-FX ports which do not
support autonegotiation, so default to full duplex mode).
To change this, first enter Interface Configuration mode for the port or port range you want
to configure.
Then, to specify full duplex, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#duplex full
To specify half duplex, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#duplex half
To autonegotiate duplex mode, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#duplex auto
How to set the polarity
By default, ports use auto MDI/MDI-X.
To change this, first enter Interface Configuration mode for the port or port range you want
to configure.
Then, to specify MDI, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#polarity mdi
To specify MDI-X (crossover), enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#polarity mdix
To return to auto-detection, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)#polarity auto
