Disabling or re-enabling a port
6
The following example configures the interface to 1000 Mbps, and designates it as the master
port.
To force the port to run at 1000 Mbps, set one of the link’s ports to be the master for the link. To set
a port as a Gigabit master port, enter the following command at the interface configuration level for
the port.
BigIron RX(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/5)#speed-duplex 1000-master
The following example configures the interface to 1000 Mbps, and designates it as the slave port.
BigIron RX(config)#interface ethernet 2/4
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/4)#speed-duplex 1000-slave
Syntax: [no] speed-duplex {auto |1000-master |1000-slave |1000-full | 100-full | 100-half |
10-full | 10-half}
auto - Autonegotiation
1000-master - Forces 1000 Mbps master port
1000-slave - Forces 1000 Mbps slave port
1000-full - Forces 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation
1000-half - Forces 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
100-full - Forces 100 Mbps full-duplex operation
100-half - Forces 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
10-full - Forces 10 Mbps full-duplex operation
10-half - Forces 10 Mbps half-duplex operation
Disabling or re-enabling a port
The port can be made inactive (disable) or active (enable) by selecting the appropriate status
option. The default value for a port is enabled.
To disable port 8 on module 1 of a device, enter the following.
BigIron RX(config)# interface e 1/8
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/8)# disable
Syntax: disable
Syntax: enable
You also can disable or re-enable a virtual routing interface. To do so, enter commands such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ve v1
BigIron RX(config-vif-1)# disable
Syntax: disable
To re-enable a virtual routing interface, enter the enable command at the Interface configuration
level. For example, to re-enable virtual routing interface v1, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-vif-1)# enable
