Understanding Hardware Commands
Sets a switch chip port speed.
setlinkspeed switch_chip port speed
where:
switch_chip is the letter of the switch chip (A–F).
port is the number of the port (1–36).
speed is the speed of the port 1(x), 2(x), or 4(x).
This hardware command sets the speed of a port on a switch_chip. If too many symbol errors are encountered, try setting for a slower speed (2 or 1).
The following example shows how to set the speed of port 3 on switch chip A to 4x with the setlinkspeed command.
# setlinkspeed A 3 4 # enableswitchport A 3 #
Note - You must reset the port after setting the port speed. You can use the enableswitchport command to reset the port.
