same setting on port1.0.1 to port1.0.3 and port1.0.5, enter the Global
Configuration mode command:

Activating and Deactivating Switch Ports

An active switch port is one that is available for packet reception and transmission.
Disabling a switch port does not affect the STP operation on the port. By default ports and
VLANs are activated.

To shutdown a port or VLAN use the

shutdown command on page 12.14

. Use the no

variant of this command to reactivate it.

Autonegotiation

Autonegotiation lets the port adjust its speed and duplex mode to accommodate the
device connected to it. When the port connects to another autonegotiating device, they
negotiate the highest possible speed and duplex mode for both of them.

By default, all ports autonegotiate. Setting the port to a fixed speed and duplex mode may
be necessary when connecting to a device that cannot autonegotiate.

Duplex mode

Ports can operate in full duplex or half duplex mode depending on the type of port it is.
When in full duplex mode, a port transmits and receives data simultaneously. When in half
duplex mode, the port transmits or receives but not both at the same time.

You can set a port to use either of these options, or allow it to autonegotiate the duplex
mode with the device at the other end of the link. To configure the duplex mode, use
these commands:

Speed options

Before configuring a port’s speed, check the hardware limit for the particular port type.
The following list can be used as a guide:

non-SFP RJ-45 copper switch ports: 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps

supported tri-speed copper SFPs: 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps

fibre SFPs: 100 Mbps to 1000Mbps, depending on the SFP type

SFP+ / XFP modules: 10 Gbps
