Sunfire B1600 manual Capabilities, Consoleconfig#interface ethernet SNP11

Default Setting

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

■Down-link ports SNP0-15 are fixed with auto-negotiation disabled.

■When auto-negotiation is enabled the switch will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the capabilites command. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link attributes with the speed- duplex and flowcontrol commands.

■If auto-negotiation is disabled, auto-MDI/MDI-X pin signal configuration will also be disabled for the up-link ports. This means that you may have to use a cross-over cable to connect two switches. However, an alternative is to leave auto-negotiation enabled (this is the default setting) but reduce the subset of permitted modes to the single mode that you want to use.

Example

The following example configures port SNP11 to use auto-negotiation.

Console(config)#interface ethernet SNP11

Console(config-if)#negotiation

Console(config-if)#
