This video demonstrates the configuration of the switch port speed on a Brocade and Cisco switch via connectrix CLI. You will learn to Hard set, Auto-negotiate and setting the maximum auto-negotiated port speed in this tutorial. You will need the tool Putty and SSH/Telnet enabled to follow this guide.

Welcome to Dell technologies connect Brocade B series and connect Cisco mds series. How to series, how to configure report speed on a Brocade and Cisco mds switch via cli reference Dell knowledge base article numbers 3.22284E+11 This video is created to demonstrate how to configure switch port speed on the Brocade and Cisco switch via below are the terms used.
While configuring a switch port speed, the port speed configuration can be performed with the admin or root credentials prior to configuring the switch port speed. Make sure to validate the speed supported on the SFP of the switch port valid at the speed supported on the end device altering the port speed.
While the switch porter and devices online would be a disruptive process, please make sure the configuration is performed when the switch port is offline, the configuration is saved in a non volatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power cycles. The following video demonstrates the configuration of port speed on a Brocade switch log into the switch via S slash tilt.
We would be configuring the port speed on the switch port one slash five run the SFP show command to verify the speed supported on the switch port. Here. The SFP supports a speed of 48 and 16 GB PS. We shall see how to hard set the speed on the switch port to 16 GBS disable the port one slash five. Use the port CFG speed command to set the speed on the port.
Here we hard set the speed on the switch port to 16 GBPS enable the port one slash five speed on the port. One slash five has been hard set to 16 GBPS. Switch port one slash five will only negotiate at 16 GBPS speed. The next command demonstrates the configuration of the switch port speed to auto negotiation mode, disable the port one slash five.
Here, one slash five is the switch port number and zero indicates auto sensing mode enable the port one slash five. Here the switch port is auto negotiating at 16 GBPS. This indicates that the switch port will communicate with the end device on the other end of the link to determine the optimal speed for the connection and then choose the speed they both support.
In this case, 16 GBS, the letter and indicates Otto negotiate the next command sets the auto negotiation to the maximum speed, disable the port one slash five. Use the upper end hyphen M to set the auto negotiation to the maximum speed to 16 GB PS enable the port one slash five the configuration has now been applied to port number one S five, port one slash five will auto negotiate only up to a maximum speed of 16 GB P to set the speed of a port using the port index.
Use the upper end hyphen disable the port one slash five. Here, port one slash five has the index. Number five and 16 is the speed enable the port one slash five speed on the port one S five has been hard set to 16 GBPS to set the speed of a port range using the port index.
Use the upper end hyphen I along with the port index range here, the port ranges from index 28 to index 31 speed on the switch ports. 28 29 30 31 has been hard set to 16 GBPS. The following video demonstrates the configuration of port speed on the cisco switch log into the switch via S slash tilt.
We would be configuring the port speed on the switch interface FC one slash three run the show transceiver details command to verify the speed supported on the interface. Here. The SFP supports a speed of 24 and eight GB PS use the switch port speed command to set the speed on the interface enter into the configuration mode key and the interface number shut the court.
Here we hard set the speed on the switch interface FC one slash 3 to 4 GBS enable to switch interface FC one slash three enter and command to come out of the config mode, run the command show port internal info interface FC one slash three command to verify the speed speed on the interface FC one slash three has been hard set to four GBPS.
The next command sets the speed on the switch interface FC one slash three to auto sensing mode. This indicates that the switch port will communicate with the end device on the other end of the link to determine the optimal speed for the connection and then choose the speed they both support enter into the configuration mode key in the interface number, shut the port.
Here we set the speed on the switch interface FC one slash 32 enable to switch interface FC one slash three enter and command to come out of the config mode. Run the command show port internal info interface FC one slash three command to verify the speed speed on the interface FC one slash three has been set to auto.
The next command sets the auto negotiation to the maximum speed enter into the configuration mode key in the interface number. Shut the port.
Here we hard set the speed on the switch interface FC one slash three to auto negotiate only up to a maximum speed of eight GBPS enable to switch interface FC one slash three enter and command to come out of the config mode, run the command show port internal info interface FC one slash three command to verify the speed the configuration has now been applied to interface FC one slash three interface FC one slash three will auto negotiate only up to a maximum speed of eight GBPS.
The next command sets the speed for a range of switch interfaces enter into the configuration mode key and the interface number here we are setting the switch port speed to auto on the interfaces from FC slash four to FC one slash six, enter and command to come out of the config mode.
