Port Commands 47
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Command Line Reference
Syntax set port media-type port-list rj45
Defaults The GBIC (fiber) interface is enabled, and the copper interface is disabled, by default.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software Version 4.0.
Usage This command applies only to the 2380.
If you set the port interface to RJ-45 on a port that already has an active fiber link, WSS Software immediately
changes the link to the copper interface.
Examples The following command disables the fiber interface and enables the copper interface
on port 2:
2380# set port media-type 2 rj45

set port mirror
Configures port mirroring. Port mirroring is a troubleshooting feature that copies (mirrors) traffic sent or
received by a WSS port (the source port) to another port (the observer) on the same WSS. You can attach a
protocol analyzer to the observer port to examine the source port’s traffic. Both traffic directions (send and
receive) are mirrored.
Syntax set port mirror source-port observer observer-port
Defaults None.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software Version 4.1.
Usage The switch can have one port mirroring pair (one source port and one observer port) at a
time. The source port can be a network port, AP access port, or wired authentication port. However,
the observer port must be a network port, and cannot be a member of any VLAN or port group.
port-list List of physical ports. WSS Software sets the preference on all the
specified ports.
rj45 Uses the copper interface.
source-port Number of the port whose traffic you want to analyze. You can specify
only one port.
observer-port Number of the port to which you want the switch to copy the source port’s
traffic.
