For example, “set ARL 00-00-01-11-22-33 5” will add a static Mac ID “00-00-
01-11-22-33” to ARL table for Port 5 and this Mac ID will never be aged out
from Port 5.

Note: Because the static Mac address is fixed on the assigned port by the
switch, the static Mac address can access network through the assigned port
only. It will fail to access network through other ports of the switch.

2.6 set automode command

This command is used to set the auto mode function of connection port when
it is forced to some special setting instead of fully auto-negotiation. There are
two modes for it – an(auto negotiation) and ad(auto detection).

an mode – if the auto. function of a port is disabled in port configuration, the
switch will disable its auto-negotiation function and the Auto-MDIX function of
the port is also disabled. That is the real force-mode setting of the port.

ad mode – if the auto. function of a port is disabled in port configuration, the
switch will not disable its auto-negotiation function but just modify its auto-
negotiation attribute for the speed/duplex mode setting. And the Auto-MDIX
function of the port is still enabled.

Its syntax is …

>set automode
Valid mode [an:Auto Negotiation|ad:Auto Detect]

[Application]
If the connected device is auto-negotiation enabled and you want to force the
speed of the connection (for example, 10M/Half), you can select ad mode.
If the connected device is in forced mode (for example, 10M/Half) and it is
auto-negotiation disabled, you can use an mode and set the port to the same
configuration as the device in port configuration function.

You can select an mode or ad mode depending on your applications. In most
of connection cases, ad mode is suggested. But for 100FX connection, you
should select an mode and disable Auto. Set the port to 100/Full.
