Setting Port Speeds Using the CLI A telnet or serial session can be used to set the port speed for an individual port or the entire switch. To specify the speed for all the ports on the switch using the CLI: 1. Open a CLI connection (telnet or serial) to the switch to be modified. 2. Log into the switch as Admin.

Specifying Port Speeds
Port speeds can be set for the entire switch or for individual ports using either the
CLI or Web Tools. If trunking is enabled, the only supported speeds are 2 Gbit/sec
and auto-negotiate. If trunking is not enabled, 1 Gbit/sec is also supported.
Setting Port Speeds Using the CLI
A telnet or serial session can be used to set the port speed for an individual port or
the entire switch.
To specify the speed for all the ports on the switch using the CLI:
1.
Open a CLI connection (telnet or serial) to the switch to be modified.
2.
Log into the switch as Admin. The default password is
password
.
3.
Enter the following:
switchcfgspeed
<speedlevel>
where:
<Speedlevel>
represents the link speed, as follows:
■
0
- Auto-negotiating mode. The port automatically configures for the
highest speed.
■
1
- 1 Gbit/sec mode. The port will be at fixed speed of 1 Gbit/sec. This
setting is not supported if trunking is enabled on the port.
■
2
- 2 Gbit/sec mode. The port will be at fixed speed of 2 Gbit/sec.
Example 1.
To set the speed for all ports on the switch to 2 Gbit/sec:
Example 2.
To set the speed for all ports on the switch to auto-negotiate:
switch:admin> switchcfgspeed 2
Committing configuration...done.
switch:admin>
switch:admin> switchcfgspeed 0
Committing configuration...done.
