How to Configure the GBE Interface Parameters
By default, the SCE 2000 GBE line interface ports are configured with auto-negotiation disabled. The
procedure for enabling auto-negotiation for the GBE line interface ports is explained in the following
section.
Note Auto-negotiation must be disabled when the SCE 2000 is deployed via an external optical splitter
(receive-only topology)
Note If you change any parameters, you must save the new configuration settings. Type copy running-config
startup-config , and press Enter.
Note The maximum packet size supported by the SCE platform is 1600 bytes
SUMMARY STEPS
1. To enter the Global Configuration Mode, at the SCE 2000# prompt, type configure, and press Enter.
2. To enter the desired GBE port interface, type interfaceGigabitEthernet 0/ portnumber, and press
Enter, where portnumberis the number of the selected port (1-4).
3. Type auto-negotiateand press Enter.
4. To return to Global Configuration Mode, type exitand press Enter.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 To enter the Global Configuration Mode, at the SCE 2000# prompt, type configure, and press Enter.
The SCE 2000(config)# prompt appears.
Step 2 To enter the desired GBE port interface, type interfaceGigabitEthernet 0/ portnumber, and press Enter,
where portnumberis the number of the selected port (1-4).
The SCE 2000(config if)# prompt appears.
Step 3 Type auto-negotiateand press Enter.
The SCE 2000(config if)# prompt appears.
Step 4 To return to Global Configuration Mode, type exitand press Enter.
The SCE 2000(config)# prompt appears.
Repeat this procedure to configure auto-negotiation for the other GBE port interfaces as needed.
