ACTIVATE SWITCH PORT

Syntax

activate switch port=port autonegotiate

Parameter

port

Specifies a port. You can specify more than one port at

a time. You can specify the ports individually (for
example, 5,7,22), as a range (for example, 18-23), or
both (for example, 1,5,14-22).

Description

If a port is using Auto-Negotiation to set its speed and duplex mode, this
command prompts the port to renegotiate its settings with its end node.
This can be useful if you believe a port and an end node have not
successfully negotiated their settings.

If the speed and duplex mode on a port were set manually, this
command overrides those settings and returns the port to Auto-
Negotiation. It should be noted that when a port is returned to Auto-
Negotiation, the MDI/MDI-X setting on the port is returned to Auto-
Detect.

Example

This command forces ports 1 and 4 to use Auto-Negotiation to set speed
and duplex mode:

activate switch port=1,4 autonegotiate
