the BlackDiamond 6808 chassis, the following ports are valid:
•

•
slot:x-slot:y
— Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O

By default, all ports are enabled. To enable or disable one or more ports, use the
following command:

Even though a port is disabled, the link remains enabled for diagnostic purposes.

By default, the switch is configured to use autonegotiation to determine the port speed
and duplex setting for each port. You can select to manually configure the duplex
setting and the speed of 10/100 Mbps ports, and you can manually configure the
duplex setting on Gigabit Ethernet ports.
