Setting Ethernet Parameters for Non-Combo Ports Configuring Ethernet Ports
page 37-16 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide March 2008
To configure the inter-frame gap on an entire slot, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, ifg, and
the desired inter-frame gap value. For example, to set the inter-frame gap value on slot 2 to 10 bytes, enter:
-> interfaces 2 ifg 10
To configure the inter-frame gap on a single port, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash (/
), the port number, ifg, and the desired inter-frame gap value. For example, to set the inter-frame gap value
on port 20 on slot 2 to 10 bytes, enter:
-> interfaces 2/20 ifg 10
To configure the inter-frame gap on a range of ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash
(/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, ifg, and the desired inter-frame gap value. For
example, to set the inter-frame gap value on ports 20 through 22 on slot 2 to 10 bytes, enter:
-> interfaces 2/20-22 ifg 10
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set the inter-frame gap value on port 20 on slot 2 to 10 bytes and
document the port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/20 ifg 10
Note. Since the interfaces ifg command is only supported on Gigabit interfaces, only the gigaethernet
keyword should be used.
Configuring Autonegotiation and Crossover Settings
The following subsections describe how to enable and disable autonegotiation (see “Enabling and
Disabling Autonegotiation” on page 37-16) and configure crossover settings (see “Configuring Crossover
Settings” on page 37-17).
Enabling and Disabling Autonegotiation
By default, autonegotiation is enabled. To enable or disable autonegotiation on a single port, a range of
ports, or an entire slot, use the interfaces autoneg command. (See “Configuring Crossover Settings” on
page 37-17 and “Setting Combo Ethernet Port Parameters on OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 Switches” on
page 37-18 for more information).
To enable or disable autonegotiation on an entire switch, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number,
autoneg, and either enable or disable. For example, to enable autonegotiation on slot 2, enter:
-> interfaces 2 autoneg enable
To enable or disable autonegotiation on a single port, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the port number, autoneg, and either enable or disable. For example, to enable autonegotiation
on port 3 on slot 2, enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 autoneg enable
To enable or disable autonegotiation on a range of ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, autoneg, and either enable or disable.
For example, to enable autonegotiation on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2, enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 autoneg enable
