The switch port commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
Command Parameters

Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config ports
Purpose
Used to configure the Switch’s Ethernet port settings.
Syntax
[<portlist> | all] {speed [auto | 10_half | 10_full | 100_half |
100_full | 1000_full {[master | slave]} | flow_control [enable |
disable] | learning [enable | disable] state [enable | disable] |
description <desc 32> | clear]}
Description
This command allows for the configuration of the Switch’s
Ethernet ports. Only the ports listed in the
<portlist>
will be
affected.
Parameters
all
−
Configure all ports on the Switch.
<portlist>
−
Specifies a range of ports to be configured. The port
list is specified by listing the lowest switch number and the
beginning port number on that switch, separated by a colon. Then
the highest switch number, and the highest port number of the
range (also separated by a colon) are specified. The beginning
and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For
example, 1:3 specifies switch number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies
switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports between
switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4
−
in numerical order.
auto
−
Enables auto-negotiation for the specified range of ports.
[10 | 100 | 1000]
−
Configures the speed in Mbps for the specified
range of ports.
[half | full]
−
Configures the specified range of ports as either full-
or half-duplex.
[master | slave]
– The
master
and
slave
parameters refer to
connections running a 1000BASE-T cable for connection between
the Switch port and other device capable of a gigabit connection.
The
master
setting will allow the port to advertise capabilities
related to duplex, speed and physical layer type. The
master
setting will also determine the master and slave relationship
between the two connected physical layers. This relationship is
necessary for establishing the timing control between the two
physical layers. The timing control is set on a
master
physical
layer by a local source. The
slave
setting uses loop timing, where
the timing comes form a data stream received from the
master
. If
