Chapter 3 Port Configuration 3.1 Introduction to Port
The front panel of ES4626 provide 4 Combo ports (these Combo ports can be configured as
either 1000MB copper ports or 1000MB SFP fiber ports, but only one type can be selected), 20
1000MB copper ports and 2 XFP 10GB fiber port.
If the user need to configure some network ports, he/she can use the “interface ethernet
<interface-list>” command to enter the appropriate Ethernet port configuration mode, where
<interface-list> stands for one or more ports. If <interface-list> contains multiple ports,
special characters such as “;” or “-” can be used to separate ports. “;” is used for discrete port
numbers and “-” is used for consecutive port number. Suppose operation should be performed
to ports 2, 3, 4, 5, the command can look like this: interface ethernet 1/2-5. Port speed,
duplex mode and traffic control can also be configured under Ethernet Port configuration Mode,
and the performance of the corresponding physical network ports will change accordingly.
