CLI Command To configure ports on a 10-Gigabit module, use the following CLI
command:
(configure)# set port
When you use the CLI to configure the 10-Gigabit module, enter the the
module number in the format of <Slot N>-<Slot N+1>. For example, to
enable the 10-Gigabit port if the module were in slots 5 and 6, you would
enter set port enable 5-6/1.
You must be in Global Configuration mode to enter the set port command.
Configuring Physical Ports on Gigabit Ports
You can configure the physi cal port par ameters on Gigabit ports using either
the Web Agent or the CLI.
Web Agent
Procedure To configure ports on a gigabit module using the Web Agent:
1. In the navigation pane, expand the Modules & Ports folder, and then
click Configuration. The Module Information We b page is displayed in
the content pane. See Figure8-2.
2. Select the port from the Ports column for the Gigabit module that you
want to configure. The Physical Port Configuration Web page for that
module is displayed. See Figure8-5.
Auto Negotiation
Mode Auto-Negotiation is not supported on the 10-Gigabit module. The IEEE 802.3ae standard refers to but does not
specify an autonegotiation function. 10-Gigabit devices
should all operate at 10Gigabits/sec in Full Duplex mode.
Remote Fault
Detect Remote fault detection is not supported on the 10-Gigabit module. The 802.3ae standard provides for automatic
detection of link failure. This setting is set to Disable and
cannot be changed.
