Port Link Configuration
You can set the port parameters using the Gigabit port configuration menu:
 
[GE Copper Link Menu]
speed - Set link speed
mode - Set duplex mode
fctl - Set flow control
auto - Set auto negotiate
   breakout- Enables splitting 40GE to 4 x 10GE
cur - Display current ge copper link configuration
Note: Because the speed and mode parameters cannot be set for XFP Ethernet ports, these options do not appear on the XFP Link menu.
Link menu options appear on the gig port configuration menu. Using these configuration menus, you can set port parameters such as speed, flow control, and negotiation mode for the port link.
