Configuring the Ports
Command Line
After you have configured the Switch's system parameters and password, you can configure individual ports.
Important:
Fast Ethernet ports are numbered from 1 through 24.
●
If installed, Gigabit uplink modules are numbered 25 and 26.●
Modelname switch ports are numbered from 27 and above based on the Stacking Interface slot they are
connected to on the BitStorm L3S-T master. As you face the master's rear panel, the management
software assigns port numbers starting with ports connected in the right slot, then the middle, and finally
the left.
●
To save time, you can set configuration options for a group of ports or all the ports on your Switch at one
time. You can specify ports by entering a single number, multiple individual numbers or a range of
numbers in the port_number field.
Use a dash to separate numbers in a range.
❍
Use commas to separate individual numbers or more than one range of numbers.❍
For example, entering the command >set port disable 1-3,5,9,12-15 disables ports 1,2, and 3, 5,
9, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
❍
●
Before you begin:
Check the factory defaults to see whether they need to be changed.●
Check a port's current settings using the >show port commands.●
Configuration steps
To enable or disable ports:
>set port enable <port_number>
Example: >set port enable 4
>set port disable <port_number>
Example: >set port disable 12
Example:>set port disable 1,4-8,15
Disabled ports do not transmit any packets to the connected segments, nor forward any received packets
to the switching backplane.
1.
To set the transmission speed of one or more ports to 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps or autosensing
mode:
>set port speed <port_number> [10 | 100 | 1000 | auto]
Example: >set port speed 7 10
If auto-negotiation is enabled, the port speed is set automatically and entries made in this command will
have no effect.
If auto-negotiation is disabled, Fast Ethernet ports can be set to 10Mbps, 100Mbps or auto for
auto-sensing. Auto-sensing is the port's ability to determine the speed of the port it is communicating with
and adjust accordingly.
Gigabit ports support 1000Mbps. Fast Ethernet ports support 10, 100 or auto. Non-supported entries can
be made but will not be put into effect.
2.
To enable and disable auto-negotiation:
>set port negotiation <port_number> [enable | disable]
Example: >set port negotiation 7 enable
