Configuring Ethernet interfaces
Ethernet interface naming conventions
The Ethernet interfaces on the WX5540E switching engines are named in the format of interface-type
A/B/C, where the following definitions apply:
• A—1.
• B—Represents a slot number on the switch, and its value is 0.
• C—Represents the number of an interface.
Performing general configurations
Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface
You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of these duplex modes:
• Full-duplex mode (full)—Interfaces that operate in this mode can send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces that operate in this mode cannot send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Autonegotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces that operate in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with
their peers.
You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its
peer. For a GE Layer 2 interface, you can also set speed options for autonegotiation. The two ends can
select a speed only from the available options. For more information, see "Setting speed options for
a
utonegotiation on an Ethernet interface."
Make sure that the fiber port speed matches the speed requirement of the inserted transceiver module.
For example, after you insert a 1000-Mbps transceiver module into a fiber port, configure the port speed
with the speed 1000 or speed auto command.
