The fiber combo port and copper combo port share one interface view, in which you can activate the
fiber or copper combo port, and configure other port attributes, such as the interface rate and duplex
mode.
Before you configure combo interfaces, complete the following tasks:
• Find out the combo interfaces on your device by checking the product specifications and identify
the two physical interfaces that comprise each combo interface.
• Use the display interface command to find out which port (fiber or copper) of the combo interface
is active. If the output includes "Media type is twisted pair, Port hardware type is 1000_BASE_T",
the copper combo port is active; if the output includes "Media type is not sure, Port hardware type
is No connector", the fiber combo port is active.
To change the active port of a combo interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter the Ethernet interface
view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Activate the fiber or copper
combo port.
combo enable { copper | fiber }
Optional.
By default, the copper combo port
is active.
Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface or subinterface
You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:
• Full-duplex mode (full). Interfaces operating in this mode can send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Half-duplex mode (half). Interfaces operating in this mode cannot send and receive simultaneously.
• Auto-negotiation mode (auto). Interfaces operating in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with their
peers.
Similarly, you can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed
with its peer.
To configure an Ethernet interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Set the interface
description.
description text
Optional.
By default, the description of an interface
is in the format of interface-name
Interface. For example,
GigabitEthernet0/1 Interface.
4. Set the duplex mode of the
interface.
duplex { auto | full | half }
Optional.
auto by default.
Optical interfaces do not support the half
keyword.
