Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide 77
6 Configuring Ports on a Switch
This chapter describes the following topics:
• Enabling and Disabling Switch Ports on page 77
• Load Sharing on the Switch on page 80
• Switch Port-Mirroring on page 82
• Extreme Discovery Protocol on page 84
Enabling and Disabling Switch Ports
By default, all ports are enabled. To enable or disable one or more ports, use the following command:
[enable | disable] ports <portlist>
For example, to disable ports 3, 5, and 12 through 15 on a Summit 200 series switch, use the following
command:
disable ports 3,5,12-15
Even though a port is disabled, the link remains enabled for diagnostic purposes.
Configuring Switch Port Speed and Duplex Setting
By default, the switch is configured to use autonegotiation to determine the port speed and duplex
setting for each port. You can manually configure the duplex setting and the speed of 10/100 Mbps
ports.
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX ports can connect to either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T networks. By default,
the ports autonegotiate port speed. You can also configure each port for a particular speed (either
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
NOTE
The fiber-medium Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch are statically set to 1 Gbps, and their speed
cannot be modified. The copper-medium Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured as 10/100/1000 Mbps
ports.
