Chapter 8: Port Parameter Commands

ACTIVATE SWITCH PORT

Syntax

activate switch port=port autonegotiate

Parameter

 

port

Specifies a port. You can specify more than one port at

 

a time. You can specify the ports individually (for

 

example, 5,7,22), as a range (for example, 18-23), or

 

both (for example, 1,5,14-22).

Description

 

If a port is using Auto-Negotiation to set its speed and duplex mode, this command prompts the port to renegotiate its settings with its end node. This can be useful if you believe a port and an end node have not successfully negotiated their settings.

If the speed and duplex mode on a port were set manually, this command overrides those settings and returns the port to Auto- Negotiation. It should be noted that when a port is returned to Auto- Negotiation, the MDI/MDI-X setting on the port is returned to Auto- Detect.

Example

This command forces ports 1 and 4 to use Auto-Negotiation to set speed and duplex mode:

activate switch port=1,4 autonegotiate
