94 Configuring a Switched Ethernet Port
NOTE
Switched Ethernet ports in dedicated routing port mode cannot be trunk ports.
NOTE
The configuration for a switched Ethernet port in switchport mode can be restored when it is
removed from a trunk. However, the configuration cannot be restored if the port is in dedicated
routing mode.
Parameter Description
Enabled Default: true
Provides the option to enable or disable this interface. When unchecked(i.e disabled),
the interface will prevent all frames from being sent and received on that interface.
AutoN Synopsis: on, off
Enables or disables IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation. Enabling auto-negotiation results in
speed and duplex being negotiated upon link detection; both end devices must be auto-
negotiation compliant for the best possible results.
Speed Synopsis: auto, 1.5M, 2.4M, 10M, 100M, 1G, 10G, 1.776M, 3.072M, 7.2M, 1.2K, 2.4K,
9.6K, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K, 230.4K, 4.8K
Speed (in megabits-per-second or gigabits-per-second). If auto-negotiation is enabled,
this is the speed capability advertised by the auto-negotiation process. If auto-
negotiation is disabled, the port is explicitly forced to this speed mode. AUTO means
advertise all supported speed modes.
Duplex Synopsis: auto, half, full
If auto-negotiation is enabled, this is the duplex capability advertised by the auto-
negotiation process. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port is explicitly forced to this
duplex mode. AUTO means advertise all supported duplex modes.
Link Alarms Default: true
Disabling link-alarms will prevent alarms and LinkUp and LinkDown SNMP traps from
being sent for that interface. Link alarms may also be controlled for the whole system
under admin / alarm-cfg.
Switchport Sets the physical port into either switched mode or a dedicated routing mode.
Flow Control Flow control is useful for preventing frame loss during times of severe network traffic
on-demand Bring up this interface on-demand only
LFI Link Fault Indication (LFI) is specifically for FX interfaces.
ip-address-src Synopsis: static, dynamic
Whether the IP address is static or dynamically assigned via DHCP or BOOTP. Option
DYNAMIC is a common case of a dynamically assigned IP address. It switches between
BOOTP and DHCP until it gets the response from the relevant server. This must be
static for non-management interfaces.
proxyarp Enables/Disables whether the VLAN will respond to ARP requests for hosts other than
itself
mtu Default: 1500
Maximum transmission unit (largest packet size allowed for this interface).
Alias The SNMP alias name of the interface
