Overview

The conventional Ethernet interface complies with 10BASE-T physical layer specifications, working at 10 Mbps and in two modes: full duplex and half duplex.

The fast Ethernet interface complies with 100BASE-T and also 10BASE-T physical layer specifications, working at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and in two modes: half duplex and full duplex. With the auto-negotiation capability, it can consult other network devices to determine and automatically select the optimum working mode and rate, thus greatly simplifying the configuration and management of the system.

Configure Ethernet Interface

Ethernet interface configuration includes:

■Enter view of specified Ethernet interface

■Set network protocol address

■Set frame format of sending message

■Set MTU

■Select working rate of fast Ethernet interface

■Select working mode of Ethernet interface

■Enable or disable internal loopback and external loopback.

The specified Ethernet interface cannot be configured unless you enter its view. It is necessary to configure IP address. Since there are default values for other parameters that can enable the system to work normally in most cases, it is recommended not to perform other configuration on Ethernet interface.

1Enter view of specified Ethernet interface

Please use the following command in the all views.
