Enabling and
Disabling Ports
To enable or disable a port on the switch, use the SHUTDOWN command.
The syntax of this command is:
shutdown|no shutdown
To enable port 12, enter the following commands:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ge12
switch(config-if)# shutdown
To disable port 19, enter the following commands:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ge19
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
For more information about this command, see “SHUTDOWN” on
page 181.
Setting MDI and
MDIX
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI and MDIX. This
feature, available when a port’s speed and duplex mode are set through
Auto-Negotiation, configures a switch port to MDI or MDIX automatically,
depending on the wiring configuration of the port on the end node. This
feature allows you to connect any network device to a port on the switch
using a straight-through twisted pair cable.
If Auto-Negotiation is disabled on a port and the speed and duplex mode
are set manually, the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature is also disabled and the
port’s wiring configuration defaults to the MDI-X setting. This setting can
be configured with the AT-S100 Management Software.
The syntax of this command is:
mdix mdi|mdix
To set a port to MDI, enter the following commands:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ge12
switch(config-if)# mdix mdi
