Chapter 7: Port Parameter Commands
104
ACTIVATE SWITCH PORT
Syntax
activate switch port= port autonegotiate
Parameter
port Specifies a port. You can specify more than one port at
a time. You can specify the ports individually (for
example, 5,7,22), as a range (for example, 18-23), or
both (for example, 1,5,14-22).
Description
If a port is using autonegotiation to set its speed and duplex mode, you
can use this command to prompt the port to renegotiate its settings
with its end node. This can be helpful if you believe that a port and an
end node have not successfully negotiated their settings.
If the speed and duplex mode on a port were set manually, this
command overrides those settings and returns the port to
autonegotiation. It should be noted that when a port is returned to
autonegotiation, the MDI/MDI-X setting on the port is returned to Auto-
Detect.
Example
This command forces ports 1 and 4 to use autonegotiation to set speed
and duplex mode:
activate switch port=1,4 autonegotiate
