CLI Command
To configure ports on a gigabit module using the CLI, enter the
following command from Configure mode:
<configure># set port <options>
Refer to the Command Reference Guide for the Avaya P550R, P580, P880,
and P882 Multiservice Switches, Version 5.3 for more details about this
command.
* Note: When a port on an 80-Series Gigabit Ethernet module is
disabled, the port link light blinks continuously. In
versions earlier than v5.2.10, the link light extinguished
when the port was disabled.
Loopback tests on ports may fail when traffic is present
on the link at startup.
PACE Priority
Mode Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted PACE
format as packets pass through the port. PACE allows a
packet’s priority (higher priority packets move through
the switch faster) to be set at the adapter.
Remote Fault
Detect Remote Fault detect, allows a Gigabit port at one end of a
link to signal status to the other end of the link, even in
the event that it may not have an operational receive
link. This feature is useful only when half of a point-to-
point link is lost.The remote fault detection should be
enabled on both ends of a switch to switch connection, in
two cases. First, when two Gigabit ports are connected
that do not support auto-negotiation. The second case is
when there is a mis-match between Gigabit ports, one
supports auto-negotiation and the other does not.
Note: Auto-negotiation and remote fault detection can
not be enabled at the same time.Aut0-
negotiation must be disabled in order to enable
remote fault detection. When auto-negotiation is
enabled, remote fault detection is automatically
disabled.
