Chapter 7 Port Configuration
7.1 Introduction to Port
Switch contains Cable ports and Combo ports. The Combo ports can be configured as either
1000GX-TX ports or SFP Gigabit fiber ports. If the user needs to configure some network ports,
he/she can use the interface Ethernet <interface-list> command to enter the appropriate
Ethernet port configuration mode, where <interface-list> stands for one or more ports. If
<interface-list> contains multiple ports, special characters such as ';' or '-' can be used to
separate ports, ';' is used for discrete port numbers and '-' is used for consecutive port
numbers. Suppose an operation should be performed on ports 2,3,4,5 the command would
look like: interface Ethernet 1/2-5. Port speed, duplex mode and traffic control can be
configured under Ethernet Port Mode causing the performance of the corresponding network
ports to change accordingly.
