Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability. setGbicMode 2 setGbicMode Enables or disables media mode. Synopsis setgbicmode [mode | -show] Description Use this command to enable GBIC media mode if the mode value is nonzero and disable the media mode if the mode value is 0. The mode is saved in flash memory and stays in that mode until the next execution of setGbicMode. The mode becomes active as soon as this command is executed. It does not require a reboot to take effect. Media mode modifies the behavior of the diagnostic test methods so that ports without media installed are not tested. Normally, tests such as crossPortTest or spinSilk fail if any port is not operating properly, but with media mode enabled, the functional tests are skipped on ports that do not contain media. Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands Examples This command has the following operands: mode Specify 1 to enable media mode or 0 to disable media mode. If no mode is specified, the current value is displayed. Any other value will enable media mode. -show Specify the -show operand to display the current setting. This operand is optional. To enable the media mode: switch:admin> setgbicmode 1 GBIC mode is now 1 (Enabled).
