Figure 7-86. Using the show port Command to Verify Port Settings
The Link Status field indicates whether the port is passing traffic. Of course, at some point in the process
you must connect ports for that field to indicate Up.
The following table describes the expected interface status of two directly connected copper ports based on
the configured or auto-negotiated speed and duplex settings.
Note: Ports 45 through 48 are a special case in the S50. The port IDs are shared between a
set of four copper 10/100/1000 ports labeled 45 through 48 and a set of four optional fiber 1G
ports. When the fiber 1G ports are installed and connected, they take precedence. For details,
see the S50 hardware guide.
