Autopartition Threshold | 3Com 5112M-TPLS specification

Use the following command to enable security for all of the ports on the Security Module in slot 3.

ONline> set security port 3.all mode enable [ENTER]

Autopartition Threshold

Autopartition threshold tells network management the number of collisions to allow before automatically partitioning a port. The options are 31, 63, 127, and 255. The factory default is 63. The 10BASE-T specification lists a minimum of 31 collisions prior to partition, but 31 collisions can cause ports to partition more frequently than necessary.

The additional options (127 and 255) are for debugging purposes, and therefore not recommended for use in live networks.

Enter the following command to define 127 collisions for the module in slot 3.

ONline> set module 3 autopartition_threshold 127_coll [ENTER]

Saving Module Configurations

After configuring the module and port settings, issue the SAVE

MODULE_PORT command from the management module to save the new configuration settings.

ONline> save module_port [ENTER]

Reverting Module Configurations

Issue the REVERT command as shown to return a module to the configuration settings that were in effect as of the last save.

ONline> revert module_port [ENTER]
