Ethernet Rate Restrictions
There are some restrictions on the various combinations of settings. The tables
below summarize the selections for each mode setting.
For the GigE copper (RJ45) port the following settings apply. Note that for the
RJ45 interface there is no way to manually set the rate to 1000.
For the GigE fiber interface the following settings apply:
configure interface ethernet {port_id} rate {10full | 10half | 100full | 100half | 1000full | 1000half}
Minimum Access Level: Administrator
The configure interface ethernet rate command specifies the duplex mode and rate if mode is set to
manual.
port_id – Identifies the Ethernet port to be configured. The possible forms of the identifier are described
in Ethernet Port ID in Chapter 1, System Concepts.
rate – Valid choices are:
10full – 10 Mbps and full duplex
10half – 10 Mbps and half duplex
100full – 100 Mbps and full duplex
100half – 100 Mbps and half duplex
1000full – 1000 Mbps and full duplex
1000half – 1000 Mbps and half duplex
Example:
PDYN# configure interface ethernet eth2 rate 100full
Notes: There are some restrictions on the various combinations of settings. See Ethernet Rate
Restrictions on page 3-54. Although all the rates will be presented to the user, only the valid entries will be
allowed. For example, the GigE port will not accept any of the 10/100 settings.
