Activating the copper port or fiber port of a combo interface

Introduction

The following information uses an example to describe the basic procedure for activating the copper port or fiber port of a combo interface.

Network configuration

Activate the copper port or fiber port of a combo interface at the CLI.

Restrictions and guidelines

A combo interface is a logical interface that physically comprises one fiber combo port and one copper combo port on the device panel. The two ports share one forwarding interface and one interface view. As a result, they cannot work simultaneously. When you activate one port, the other port is automatically disabled.

Procedure

# Activate the copper combo port of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and connect a twisted pair cable to the interface.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] combo enable copper

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Activate the fiber combo port of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and connect a fiber to the interface.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] combo enable fiber

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

Verifying the configuration

# When a combo interface is connected to a cable or transceiver module, use the display interface command to view information about the interface. If Media type is twisted pair is displayed in the command output, the copper port is activated. If not, the fiber port is activated.

[Sysname] display interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1

Configuring the speed and duplex mode for Ethernet interfaces

Introduction

The following information uses an example to describe the basic procedure for configuring the speed and duplex mode for Ethernet interfaces.

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1:

·     The server group (Server 1, Server 2 and Server 3) are connected to GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on the switch, respectively.

·     The switch is connected to the Internet through GigabitEthernet 1/0/4.

Because of the limitations of the server NICs, the following issues exist:

·     GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 can only negotiate to operate in half-duplex mode. In half-duplex mode, packet loss will occur when the service data traffic is high.

·     GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 negotiate the speed to a maximum of 1000 Mbps. When the server group simultaneously sends data to the external network at a speed of 1000 Mbps, congestion occurs on GigabitEthernet 1/0/4.

Use this example to resolve the packet loss and congestion issues.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

·     To avoid packet loss, set the duplex mode to full duplex.

·     To avoid data congestion, configure the interfaces to operate at 100 Mbps.

Procedure

# Add GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to interface range myEthPort, and enter the interface range view.

<H3C> system-view

[H3C] sysname Switch

[Switch] interface range name myEthPort interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/3

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort]

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to operate in full-duplex mode and at 100 Mbps.

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort] duplex full

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort] speed 100

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort] quit

 

 

Note:

After you execute the commands in interface range view, the device issues the configuration to GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3, and displays the configuration information for each interface.

 

Verifying the configuration

# Execute the display interface command in any view to check the current operating speed and duplex mode of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

[Switch] display interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

...

Media type is twisted pair, port hardware type is 1000_BASE_T                  

Port priority: 0                                                               

100Mbps-speed mode, Full-duplex mode                                           

Link speed type is force link, link duplex type is force link                  

Flow-control is not enabled                                                    

Maximum frame length: 12288                                                     ...

The output shows that the interface is operating in full duplex mode at 100 Mbps.

View the current operating speed and duplex mode of GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 in the same way.

Introduction

The following information uses an example to describe the basic procedure for configuring the link mode for Ethernet interfaces.

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2:

·     PC 1, PC 2, PC 3, and PC 4 belong to different network segments.
