Configuring 10/100 Auto-Sensing Ports
The 10/100cfg command allows you to enable auto-negotiation, as well as configure link
speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and the link mode (full or half-duplex) on 10/100 Ethernet ports on
the
ESX-K-100C-32W modules on the Omni Switch/Router.
Follow these steps to configure a 10/100 port:
1. Enter 10/100cfg at the system prompt and press .
2. The system displays a prompt asking for the slot and port number:
Enter Slot/Interface :
Enter the slot number, a slash (/), and the port number of the Ethernet port that you want
to configure. Press
.
3. The system prompts you to enable or disable auto-sensing:
Autonegotiate [y,n, or quit] (Currently enabled (y)) :
Enter y to enable auto-negotiation or n to disable auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation can
be used to determine the link speed and the link mode (full or half) of the connection.
If you choose y to enable auto-negotiation, the system will automatically detect whether
the connection speed of the attached device is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. It can also deter-
mine whether the link mode of the connection is half- or full-duplex.
♦ Note ♦
Auto-negotiated ports on GSX modules display inactive
ports as 1000 Mbps/full duplex.
If you enable auto-negotiation, continue with Step 6.
If you choose n to disable auto-negotiation, then you will be prompted for the Line
Speed. Continue on with the next step.
4. If you chose to disable auto-sensing, then the following prompt displays showing the
current line speed:
Line Speed [100 or 10] (Currently 100) :
Select whether you want the port to operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The port will oper-
ate at this speed until you change it through the
10/100cfg command later. Press
after you enter the Line Speed. The new line speed will take effect; no reboot is required.
Continue with the next step.
5. The following prompt displays, showing the current link mode:
Link Mode [Full, Half] (Currently (H)alf Duplex) :
Enter F to set the port to full-duplex mode or H to set the port to half-duplex mode. In
full-duplex mode, the full 100 or 10 Mbps of bandwidth is used for data traveling on each
direction of the cable. Press
after you enter the Mode. The new mode will take
effect; no reboot is required. You have completed the configuration of this port.
