HPE FlexNetwork 5130 HI SERIES Configuration Guide

• The port up-mode command is mutually exclusive with either of the shutdown and
commands.
• A GE fiber port cannot correctly forward traffic if you configure the port up-mode command on
the port and install an electro-optical module, 100/1000-Mbps transceiver module, or 100-Mbps
transceiver module into the port. To solve the problem, use the undo port up-mode command
on the fiber port.
Configuration procedure
To forcibly bring up a fiber port:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Enter Ethernet interface

3. Forcibly bring up the fiber
port.

By default, a fiber Ethernet port is not
forcibly brought up, and the physical
state of a fiber port depends on the
physical state of the fibers.
Setting the MDIX mode of an Ethernet interface
IMPORTANT:
Fiber ports do not support the MDIX mode setting.
A physical Ethernet interface contains eight pins, each of which plays a dedicated role. For example,
pins 1 and 2 transmit signals, and pins 3 and 6 receive signals. You can use both crossover and
straight-through Ethernet cables to connect copper Ethernet interfaces. To accommodate these
types of cables, a copper Ethernet interface can operate in one of the following Medium Dependent
Interface-Crossover (MDIX) modes:
• MDIX mode—Pins 1 and 2 are receive pins and pins 3 and 6 are transmit pins.
• MDI mode—Pins 1 and 2 are transmit pins and pins 3 and 6 are receive pins.
• AutoMDIX mode—The interface negotiates pin roles with its peer.
To enable the interface to communicate with its peer, set the MDIX mode of the interface mode by
using the following guidelines:
• Typically, set the MDIX mode of the interface to AutoMDIX. Set the MDIX mode of the interface
to MDI or MDIX only when the switch cannot determine the cable type.
• When a straight-through cable is used, set the interface to operate in the MDIX mode different
than its peer.
• When a crossover cable is used, perform either of the following tasks:
{ Set the interface to operate in the same MDIX mode as its peer.
{ Set either end to operate in AutoMDIX mode.
