Intel® NetStructure 6000 Switch User Guide
Select from the following parameters:
set link port port_number { active | passive }
link aggregation between switches requires that at least one of
the aggregated ports, on either switch, be set to “active” mode.
The ports on the 6000 switch are set to passive mode by
default. Passive mode means that the port does not initiate a
control frame. It responds to control frames, but it does not
send out any. Active mode, automatically sends control frames.
To set a port to active mode, type set link media_ port port
aggregated_port active.
Example
The example below creates an aggregator group 3 on Switch A linking
media ports 3, 4, and 5 and sets the mode to active.
6000 Switch>set link 3 port 3 active
6000 Switch>set link 4 port 3 active
6000 Switch>set link 5 port 3 active
set link port port_number aggregate
used to reset a port that was restricted from being part of an
aggregator link with the “individual” mode setting. The port is
then able to be part of an aggregation link.
set link port port_number individual
ports set to individual mode cannot be part of an aggregation
link.
set link port { port_number | all } agg_default
returns a port or all aggregator links to their default aggregator
setting.
set passwdbasic
changes the switch’s access password. This password is
requested when the serial console is first connected or when a
new Telnet connection is accepted. When you change the
password, you are asked to enter the current password and the
new password, then to re-enter the new password to validate it.
The password must be 10 characters or less.
