a selected port interface.
clear description
– To clear the description.
config ports mdix -
MDIX mode can be specified as auto, normal, and cross.
If set to normal state, the port is in MDIX mode and can be connected to PC NIC
using a straight cale. If set to cross state, the port is in mdi mode, and can be
connected to a port (in mdix mode) on another switch thru a straight cabe.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
NOTE:
Gigabit Ethernet Fiber ports only can be set to 1000M/100M, Full, or auto.
Example usage:
To configure the speed of ports 1-3 to be 10 Mbps, full duplex , learning enabled, state enabled and
flow control enabled:
DGS-3700-12:5#config ports 1-3 speed 10_full learning enable state enable flow_control
enable
Command: config ports 1-3 speed 10_full learning enable state enable flow_control
