5 Port Configuration
The V5808 features highly flexible hardware configurations with multiple GPON and
Gigabit Ethernet components. In this chapter, you can find the instructions for the basic
port configuration such as auto-negotiation, flow control, transmit rate, etc. Please read
the following instructions carefully before you configure a port in the V5808.
5.1 Ethernet Port Configuration
5.1.1 Enabling Ethernet Port
To enable/disable the Ethernet port, use the following command.
port {enable | disable} PORTS

5.1.2 Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation is a mechanism that takes control of the cable when a connection is
established to a network device. Auto-negotiation detects the various modes that exist in
the network device on the other end of the wire and advertises it own abilities to
automatically configure the highest performance mode of interoperation. As a standard
technology, this allows simple, automatic connection of devices that support a variety of
modes from a variety of manufacturers.
To enable/disable the auto-negotiation on an Ethernet port, use the following command.
port nego PORTS {on | off}
Enables/disables the auto-negotiation on a specified
port, enter a port number. (default: on)
