Setting the Type of a Dual-Purpose Uplink Port

Perform this task to select which dual-purpose uplink to activate so that you can set the speed and duplex.
This procedure is optional.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show running-config | include define Shows the defined interface range macro configuration.

Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters globals configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the dual-purpose uplink port to be configured, and enters
interface configuration mode.
Step 3 media-type {auto-select | rj45 | sfp}Selects the interface and type of a dual-purpose uplink port. The
keywords have these meanings:
auto-select—The switch dynamically selects the type. When link
up is achieved, the switch disables the other type until the active
link goes down. When the active link goes down, the switch
enables both types until one of them links up. In auto-select
mode, the switch configures both types with autonegotiation of
speed and duplex (the default). Depending on the type of installed
SFP module, the switch might not be able to dynamically select
it.
rj45—The switch disables the SFP module interface. If you
connect an SFP module to this port, it cannot attain a link even if
the RJ-45 side is down or is not connected. In this mode, the
dual-purpose port behaves like a 10/100/1000BASE-TX
interface. You can configure the speed and duplex settings
consistent with this interface type.
sfp—The switch disables the RJ-45 interface. If you connect a
cable to the RJ-45 port, it cannot attain a link even if the SFP
module side is down or if the SFP module is not present. Based
on the type of installed SFP module, you can configure the speed
and duplex settings consistent with this interface type.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
