Caution: In order for configuration changes to be retained through a switch power cycle or
reboot, you must issue a ‘save’ command. For more information on the ‘save’ command, refer to
the ExtremeWare Software User Guide.
Software Controlled Redundant Port
You can configure only one redundant port for each primary port.
You cannot configure hardware redundant ports (such as ports 49 and 50 on a Summit48i) as software
controlled redundant ports.
Software redundant ports are for use only to peer-to-peer connectivity. The cannot be used to
dual-home a port.
Setting Auto-negotiation Off on a Gigabit Port
When connecting to a device that does not support 802.3z auto-negotiation, it is necessary to turn off
auto-negotiation for the switch port to which it is connecting. Although a gigabit port only runs at full
duplex and at gigabit speed, the command to turn auto-negotiation off must still include specifying the
duplex mode. For example the command:
config port 4 auto off duplex full
will turn auto-negotiation off if port 4 is a gigabit port.
