Temporarily disabling a port

To temporarily disable a port without changing its stored configuration attributes, enter the following command at any prompt:

Main# /oper/port <port number>/dis

Because this configuration sets a temporary state for the port, you do not need to use apply or save. The port state will revert to its original configuration when the switch is reset. See the “Menu information” section in the “Operations Menu” chapter for other operations-level commands.

Port link configuration

Command: /cfg/port <port number>/gig

[Gigabit Link	Menu]
speed	- Set link speed
mode	- Set full or half duplex mode
fctl	- Set flow control
auto	- Set auto negotiation
cur	- Display current gig link configuration

Use these menu options to set port parameters for the port link.

Link menu options are described in the following table and display on the Gigabit port configuration menus for the switch. Using these configuration menus, you can set port parameters such as speed, duplex, flow control, and negotiation mode for the port link.
