switch port

Use this command to configure the BSGX4e LAN ports.

There is an uplink port (port 0 or MII) and 4 LAN ports. Network traffic from

the switch is sent through port 0 to the host for routing. The uplink port

cannot be configured. It always operates at 100 Mbps, full duplex mode,

flow control disabled.

Each front port can be configured to automatically negotiate the

appropriate speed and duplex mode or for a speed of 10Base-T or 100Base-

T and either half or full duplex mode. The initial configuration for each LAN

port specifies auto-negotiation for speed and duplex mode.

Flow control for a port can be disabled or configured to provide either back

pressure (forced collision) for half duplex mode or pause frames for full

duplex mode. The initial configuration for each LAN port disables flow

control.

Syntax config switch port <number> speed

[yes|no]

Parameters port number Configure a LAN port. The valid range is 1-4.

speed auto|10half|10full|100half|100full

Specify a speed and duplex mode. The default

is auto.

flow yes|no Enable flow control for half duplex mode or for

full duplex mode. The default is no.

enabled yes|no Select whether or not the port is enabled. The

default is yes.

Example This example enables port 2 and changes its speed setting to auto-

negotiation.

> config switch port 2 speed auto enabled yes

Example This example enables port 3 and changes its configuration to 100 Mbps full

duplex with flow control enabled and the port is enabled:

> config switch port 3 speed 100full flow yes enabled yes
