Chapter4 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring Optional Interface Features
When deploying a Catalyst 4510R chassis, one of three configurations is supported:
Enable the dual 10 -Gigabit Ethernet ports (X2 optics) only.
Enable the four Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP optics) only.
Enable both the dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet and the four Gigabit Ethernet ports, with the understanding
that the tenth slot (Flex-Slot) will only support a 2-port gigabit interface converter (GBIC) line card
(WS-X4302-GB) when in this mode.
To select the 10-Gigabit Ethernet and/or the Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports, perform this task:
The following example shows how to enable both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink
ports on a Catalyst 4510R series switch:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# hw-module uplink select all
Warning: This configuration mode will place slot 10 in flex slot mode

Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Guidelines

Note You do not configure the client device for autonegotiation. Rather, you configure the switch with the
speed, or range of speeds, that you want to autonegotiate.
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch# configure terminal Establishes global configuration mode.
Step2 Switch(config)# hw-module uplink select [all |
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet]
Selects the port type to enable.
