1.6.4 Configuring the Combo interface
The A10E/A28E Combo interface supports both optical module and electrical module, so
transmission media can be optical fiber or cable according to interface media type supported
by the peer device. If using both two kinds of transmission media for connection, service
transmission can only use one of them at the same time.
The Combo interface has two modes to select transmission media: mandatory and automatic.
If the configuration mode is automatic selection and two kinds of transmission medium of
optical fiber and cable connections are normal, the interface will automatically choose one of
them as an effective transmission line as well as automatically select another transmission
medium for service transmission when current transmission medium breaks down.
In auto-selection mode, after the Combo optical interface and Combo electrical interface are
configured respectively, the device automatically use the optical/electrical interface if needed,
without configuring them every time upon use.
Configure the Combo interface for the A10E/A28E as below.
Step
Configuration
Description
1
Alpha-A28E#config
Enter global configuration mode.
2
Alpha-A28E(config)#interface
port port-id
Enter physical layer interface
configuration mode.
3
Alpha-A28E(config-port)#media-
priority { fiber | copper }
Configure Combo interface
optical/electrical priority.
Optical/electrical priority selection
function can select to use optical port
or electrical port in prior when
inserting optical port or electrical port
at the same time.
4
Alpha-A28E(config-
port)#description medium-type
{ fiber | copper } word
Configure Combo interface
optical/electrical description
information.
5
Alpha-A28E(config-port)#speed
medium-type { fiber | copper }
{ auto | 10 | 100 | 1000 }
Configure Combo interface
optical/electrical transmission speed.
The interface speed also depended on
the module specification used.
6
Alpha-A28E(config-port)#duplex
medium-type copper { full |
half }
Configure Combo interface electrical
duplex mode.
7
Alpha-A28E(config-port)#mdi
medium-type copper { auto |
normal | across }
Configure Combo interface as
electrical port MDI mode.
8
Alpha-A28E(config-
port)#flowcontrol medium-type
{ fiber | copper } { on | off }
Configure Combo interface
optical/electrical flow control.
