iBypass HD
Change Port Modes
You can use the port set command to configure the operating speed, autonegotiation, and duplex settings of
10/100/1000 copper-interface ports.
All four ports of each bypass switch must be set to the same mode in order for the link to pass data. iBypass HD does
not perform data rate conversion for unlike interfaces.
Note: __________________________________________________________________________________________________
Be sure to set autoneg=off if the port is attached to a fixed-speed link. If autonegotiation is left on, a link cannot be
established and no data can be passed by the port.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To change the modes of 10/100/1000 ports:
1. Type port set ports=<s1..s8> autoneg=< on | off> speed=< 10 | 100 | 1000 > duplex=< full | half> to set the
mode of a 10/100/1000 Copper port.
Example: Type port set ports=s1,s3 autoneg=off speed=100 to set all four ports of segment 1 and all four ports of
segment 3 to 100Mbps fixed speed. Duplex mode is left in its default state of full duplex.
2. Repeat Step 1 for any ports you want to configure.
Set the Current Date and Time
The iBypass HD maintains a time-of-day clock based on the 24-hour clock. The clock must be initialized using the CLI
or another management tool. The clock is used when timestamping is needed.
To change the current date and time:
1. Type time hh:mm:ss where hh is hour, mm is minutes, and ss is seconds.
2. Type date mm/dd/yyyy where mm is month, dd is day of the month, and yyyy is year.
Example: time 12:20:00
date 06/24/2008
Save and Load the iBypass HD Configurations
The configuration of the iBypass HD can be saved to and loaded from files stored on the iBypass HD's internal flash
drive. When working with these files from within the CLI, specify only a filename (up to 32 characters long) without
an extension. The current configuration is kept in a file named running, which is updated when a commit command
is executed (but not the command sysip commit). This file is automatically loaded at power up or when the system is
reset, so your configuration is persistent. However, you might want to save copies of various configurations that you
use for different purposes. For example, each person that uses the device can maintain a separate configuration.
To save the iBypass HD configuration:
• Type config save <filename> where <filename> is the name for this configuration.
The configuration is saved.
