78CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING AND MANAGING PORTS AND VLANS

Configuring Interface The gigabit Ethernet ports on a WX4400 have two physical interfaces: a Preference on a 1000BASE-TX copper interface and a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX

Dual-Interfacefiber interface. The copper interface is provided by a built-in RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet Port connector. The fiber interface is optional and requires insertion of a

(WX4400 only) Gigabit interface converter (GBIC).

Only one interface can be active on a port. By default, MSS prefers the GBIC (fiber) interface. You can configure a port to prefer the RJ-45 (copper) interface instead.

If you set the preference to RJ-45 on a port that already has an active fiber link, MSS immediately changes the link to the copper interface.

To disable the fiber interface and enable the copper interface on a

WX4400 port, use the following command:

To disable the copper interface and reenable the fiber interface on a

WX4400 port, use the following command:

clear port media-type port-list

To display the enabled interface type for each port, use the following command:

display port media-type [port-list]

To disable the fiber interface and enable the copper interface of port 2 on a WX4400 switch and verify the change, type the following commands:

WX4400# set port media-type 2 rj45

WX4400# display port media-type
