Entering Commands 53

3cVlan.mib — 3Com VLAN MIB (43.10.1.14.1).

3cWeb.mib — 3Com Web Management MIB (43.29.4.24).

cb9000Mod.mib — Layer 2 and Layer 3.

MIB names and numbers are usually retained when organizations restructure their businesses; therefore, some of the 3Com Enterprise MIB names may not contain the word “3Com.”

Entering Commands

Before you enter any command, 3Com recommends that you:

Examine all menus and submenus carefully to obtain the complete and correct command string.

Consult the documentation for the valid minimum abbreviation for the command string.

Understanding

The autonegotiation capability on CoreBuilder 9000 Fast Ethernet and

Autonegotiation

Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switching modules functions in compliance with

 

the IEEE 802.3z specification. In Gigabit Ethernet modules,

 

autonegotiation coordinates flow control parameters between local and

 

remote ports. Both ends of the Gigabit Ethernet connection must support

 

autonegotiation and have it enabled for the connection to work properly.

 

If autonegotiation is implemented or configured differently on local and

 

remote connected ports, unexpected results or link failures may result.

 

For example:

 

If a Gigabit Ethernet switching module port has autonegotiation

 

enabled but the remote end of the connection does not support

 

autonegotiation or has it disabled, the local module port does not

 

come up (the module port state is off-line, the port LED is off, and the

 

autonegotiation state is configuring).

 

If a Gigabit Ethernet switching module port has autonegotiation

 

disabled but the remote end of the connection has autonegotiation

 

enabled, no traffic flows in either direction between the ports.

 

However, the module port state and port status still display online

 

and enabled, respectively. Also, if Spanning Tree is enabled, the

 

linkstate is up and the module port state is forwarding.
