Fabric OS Commands ifModeSet Set the link operating mode for a network interface. Synopsis ifModeSet ["interface"] Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description: V3.1.x Use this command to set the link operating mode for a network interface. The "interface" argument is of the form , where is the name of the network interface and is the instance of that interface, for example, "fei0." The network interfaces available on the system can be listed with the ifshow command. The command begins by prompting the current operating mode and continues prompting other possible operating modes until one has been selected or until all the possibilities have been displayed. An operating mode is confirmed with a "y" or "yes" at a prompt. If an operating mode is selected different from the current mode, the change is saved and the command exits. Note: Rebooting is required for the changes of this command to take effect. Changing the link mode is not supported for all network interfaces and not necessarily for all Ethernet network interfaces. At present, this command is only functional for "fei" interfaces. Exercise care when using this command. Forcing the link to an operating mode not supported by the network equipment to which it is attached may result in an inability to communicate with the system via its Ethernet interface. 364 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
