Similarly, if you configure the transmission rate for an Ethernet port by using the speed command with
the auto keyword specified, the transmission rate is determined through auto-negotiation too.

Follow these steps to perform basic Ethernet port configuration:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Set the description string

Optional
By default, the description string is “interface
index + Interface”.

Set the duplex mode

duplex

{ auto | full | half }

Optional

auto

by default.

Set the transmission rate

speed

{ 10 | 100 | 1000 | auto }

Optional

auto

by default.

Shut down the Ethernet port shutdown

Optional
By default, an Ethernet port is in up state.
To bring up an Ethernet port, use the undo

command.

The speed 1000 command is only applicable to GigabitEthernet ports.

Combo Port Configuration

Introduction to Combo port

A Combo port can operate as either an optical port or an electrical port. Inside the device there is only
one forwarding interface. For a Combo port, the electrical port and the corresponding optical port are
TX-SFP multiplexed. You can specify a Combo port to operate as an electrical port or an optical port.
That is, a Combo port cannot operate as both an electrical port and an optical port simultaneously.

For ease of management, a Combo port can be categorized into one of the following two types:

z

Single Combo port: the two Ethernet interfaces in the device panel correspond to only one interface
view, in which state on the two interfaces can be realized. A single Combo port can be a Layer 2
Ethernet interface or a Layer 3 Ethernet interface.

z

Dual-Combo port: the two Ethernet interfaces in the device panel correspond to two interface views.
State switchover can be realized in user’s own interfaces view. A double Combo port can only be a
layer 2 Ethernet interface.
