1.2.1 Entering Ethernet Port View
Before configuring an Ethernet port, enter Ethernet port view first.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
To do … Use the command …
Enter Ethernet port view interface interface-type interface-number
1.2.2 Enabling/Disabling an Ethernet Port
After configuring the related parameters and protocol of the port, you can use undo
shutdown command to enable the port. If you do not want a port to forward data any
more, use shutdown command to disable it.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do ... Use the command …
Disable an Ethernet port shutdown
Enable an Ethernet port undo shutdown
By default, the port is enabled.
1.2.3 Setting Ethernet Port Description
To distinguish Ethernet ports, you can use the following command to make some
necessary descriptions.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Configure an Ethernet port description description text
Delete the Ethernet port description undo description
By default, an Ethernet port has no description.
1.2.4 Setting the Duplex Attribute of an Ethernet Port
To configure a port to send and receive data packets at the same time, set it to
full-duplex. To configure a port to either send or receive data packets at a time, set it to
half-duplex. If the port has been set to auto-negotiation mode, the local and peer ports
will automatically negotiate the duplex mode.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-3
To do … Use the command …
Set duplex attribute for the Ethernet port duplex { auto |full | half }
Restore the default duplex attribute of the
Ethernet port undo duplex
10/100 Mbps electrical Ethernet ports can operate in full-duplex, half-duplex or
auto-negotiation mode, so can a 10/100/1,000 Mbps electrical Ethernet port. However,
when the port rate is set to 1,000 Mbps or auto, the duplex mode of the port can only be
set to full (full duplex) or auto (auto-negotiation). A 100 Mbps/1,000 Mbps optical
Ethernet port operates in full duplex mode even if it is configured to operate in the
auto-negotiation mode. A 10 Gbps optical Ethernet port can only operate in full duplex
mode.
The duplex mode of Ethernet ports defaults to auto (auto-negotiation).
Caution:
zFor ports coupled with photoelectric transducers, set the duplex mode to
auto-negotiation mode. Otherwise, the status check for the port may be abnormal.
zOnly the GP48 interface board offers 100/1000 Mbps optical ports. By default, such
an optical port operates at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode. If its rate is configured as
100 Mbps, you are recommended to configure it to operate in full-duplex mode.
Otherwise, the auto-negotiation information of the port will be wrong.
zOnly the GP48 interface board supports speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex
mode auto-negotiation for photoelectric transceiver modules. For the function to
work, you must ensure that the modules are 1000_BASE_T photoelectric
transceiver modules certified by H3C.
1.2.5 Setting Speed on the Ethernet Port
You can use the following command to set the speed on the Ethernet port. If the speed
is set to auto-negotiation mode, the local and peer ports will automatically negotiate the
port speed.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-4
To do … Use the command …
Set Ethernet port speed speed {10 |100 |1000 |10000 |auto }
Restore the default speed on the
Ethernet port undo speed
The speed options in the command are available depending on the type and duplex
mode of the port. For example, for 10/100/1,000 Mbps electrical ports, 10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, and 1,000 Mbps are available. You can select a proper port speed as needed.
However, when the duplex mode is changed to half duplex, the port speed cannot be
set to 1,000 Mbps or auto.
The 10/100 Mbps electrical Ethernet port can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and in
auto mode. You can set it accordingly.
The 10/100/1,000 Mbps electrical Ethernet port can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
1,000 Mbps. However in half duplex mode, the port cannot operate at 1,000 Mbps or in
auto mode. The 100 Mbps optical Ethernet port supports 100 Mbps; the 1,000 Mbps
optical Ethernet port supports 1,000 Mbps; a 10 Gbps optical Ethernet port only
supports 10 Gbps.
By default, the speed of the port is in auto mode.
Caution:
zOnly the GP48 interface board offers 100/1000 Mbps optical ports. By default, such
an optical port operates at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode. If its rate is configured as
100 Mbps, you are recommended to configure it to operate in full-duplex mode.
Otherwise, the auto-negotiation information of the port will be wrong.
zOnly the GP48 interface board supports speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex
mode auto-negotiation for photoelectric transceiver modules. For the function to
work, you must ensure that the modules are 1000_BASE_T photoelectric
transceiver modules certified by H3C.
1.2.6 Setting the Cable Type for the Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port supports straight-through and cross-over network cables. The
following command can be used for configuring the cable type.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-5
To do … Use the command …
Set the type of the cable connected to the
Ethernet port mdi {across |auto |normal }
Restore the default type of the cable connected
to the Ethernet port undo mdi
Note:
zThe settings only take effect on 10/100 Mbps and 10/100/1000 Mbps electrical
ports.
z10Gbps Ethernet ports support optical fiber only.
By default, the cable type is auto (auto-recognized). That is, the system can
automatically recognize the type of the cable connecting to the port.
1.2.7 Enabling/Disabling Flow Control for the Ethernet Port
After enabling flow control in both the local and the peer switch, if congestion occurs in
the local switch, the switch will inform its peer to pause packet sending. Once the peer
switch receives this message, it will pause sending packets to the local switch, and vice
versa. In this way, packet loss is reduced effectively. The flow control function of the
Ethernet port can be enabled or disabled through the following command.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Enable Ethernet port flow control flow-control
Disable Ethernet port flow control undo flow-control
By default, Ethernet port flow control is disabled.
1.2.8 Setting the Interval for Performing Statistics on the Port
Follow these steps to set the interval for performing statistics on the port:
To do … Use the command … Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter Ethernet port

To do … Use the command … Remarks
Set the interval for
performing statistics on
the port flow-interval interval Required
300 seconds by default
1.2.9 Permitting/Denying Jumbo Frames
During large throughput data switching, like in file transmission, a card may encounter
jumbo frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame length. You may configure the
device to permit them to pass the card or deny them.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
To do … Use the command …
Enable Jumbo frames to pass the card
on a specified slot, and set the maximum
length of Jumbo frames allowed to pass
the card
jumboframe enable
[ jumboframe-value ] slot slot-number
Disable Jumbo frames from passing the
card on a specified slot jumboframe disable slot slot-number
By default, jumbo frames are allowed to pass.
Note:
zThe system supports discrete Jumbo frame sizes ranging from 1,552 to 10,240.
However, effective Jumbo frame values fall into several sections: the effective
Jumbo frame sizes for the 1,552-9,022 section are 1,552 and 9,022, that for the
9,023-9,192 section is 9,192, and that for the 9,193-10,240 section is 10,240.
zFor XP4 LPUs that are not of wire speed, only the jumbo frame value 10,236 is
supported, while all the other GE LPUs and 10GE LPUs support the jumbo frame
value 10,240. LSB1GV48 LPUs support only the jumbo frame value 10,236, and
LSB2FT48C0 LPUs support only the jumbo frame value 1,552.
1.2.10 Setting Broadcast/Multicast Suppression on an Ethernet Port
To prevent port congestion resulting from broadcast/multicast packet flooding, the
switch supports broadcast/multicast suppression. You can enable broadcast/multicast
suppression by setting a suppression triggering speed percentage or bandwidth
threshold.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-7
To do … Use the command …
Configure broadcast suppression on the
Ethernet port broadcast-suppression { ratio | bandwidth bandwidth }
Restore the default setting of broadcast
suppression on the Ethernet port undo broadcast-suppression
Configure multicast suppression on the
Ethernet port multicast-suppression { ratio | bandwidth bandwidth }
Restore the default setting of multicast
suppression on the Ethernet port undo multicast-suppression
Caution:
zYou cannot enable both broadcast suppression and multicast suppression
simultaneously on the same card. Namely, once you have enabled broadcast
suppression on some ports of a card, you cannot enable multicast suppression on
the other ports of the card, and vice versa.
zTo modify the broadcast/multicast suppression triggering threshold in the
percentage form on a port, make sure all the ports on a board adopt the default
suppression triggering threshold in the percentage form.
zWhen broadcast/multicast suppression is enabled on an LPU, you can set different
broadcast/multicast suppression triggering percentage values for different ports on
the LPU.
zWhile broadcast suppression does not work on multicasts, multicast suppression
can suppress broadcasts.
zNo distinction is made between known multicast and unknown multicast for
multicast suppression.
zBroadcast suppression is implemented in a multiple of 64 bytes.
By default, the threshold for broadcast suppression is 50%, while that for multicast
suppression is 100%.
1.2.11 Setting the Network Mode of an Ethernet Port
A port in WAN mode is used for connecting to an SDH network, while a port in LAN
mode is used for connecting to Ethernet.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-8
To do … Use the command …
Set the network mode of the Ethernet port port-mode { wan |lan }
Restore the default network mode undo port-mode
By default, Ethernet ports work in LAN mode. 10-GE Ethernet ports support WAN
mode.
Note:
Ports on the XP4CA and XP4B boards do not support the WAN mode.
1.2.12 Setting the Link Type for the Ethernet Port
The link type of an Ethernet port can be access, hybrid, or trunk. The access port
carries one VLAN only and is used for connecting to the user’s computer. The trunk port
can belong to more than one VLAN to receive/send packets for them and is used for
connection between switches. The hybrid port can also carry more than one VLAN to
receive/send packets for them and is used for connecting both switches and user
computers. The difference between the hybrid port and the trunk port is that the hybrid
port allows the packets from multiple VLANs to be sent without tags, but the trunk port
only allows the packets from the default VLAN to be sent without tags.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Configure the port as access port port link-type access
Configure the port as hybrid port port link-type hybrid
Configure the port as trunk port port link-type trunk
Restore the default link type, that is, the access port undo port link-type
You can configure three types of ports concurrently on the same switch, but you cannot
switch the link type of a port directly between trunk and hybrid. To change the link type
of a port from trunk to hybrid or vice versa, you must first set it to access.
The default port type is access.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-9
1.2.13 Adding the Ethernet Port to Specified VLANs
The following commands are used for adding an Ethernet port to a specified VLAN. The
access port can only be added to one VLAN, while the hybrid and trunk ports can be
added to multiple VLANs.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Add the current access port to a
specified VLAN port access vlan vlan-id
Add the current hybrid port to specified
VLANs port hybrid vlan vlan-id-list { tagged | untagged }
Add the current trunk port to specified
VLANs port trunk permit vlan { vlan-id-list | all }
Remove the current access port from to
a specified VLAN undo port access vlan
Remove the current hybrid port from to
specified VLANs undo port hybrid vlan vlan-id-list
Remove the current trunk port from
specified VLANs undo port trunk permit vlan { vlan-id-list | all }
Caution:
The access port shall be added to an existing VLAN other than VLAN 1. The VLAN to
which a Hybrid port is added must be an existing VLAN.
After adding the Ethernet port to specified VLANs, the local port can forward packets of
these VLANs. The hybrid and trunk ports can be added to multiple VLANs, thereby
implementing the VLAN intercommunication between peers. On a hybrid port, you can
configure to tag some VLAN packets so that they can be processed differently.
1.2.14 Setting the Default VLAN ID for the Ethernet Port
Since the access port can only be included in one VLAN, its default VLAN is the one to
which it belongs. As the hybrid port and the trunk port can be included in multiple
VLANs, it is necessary to assign them a default VLAN ID. Configured with a default
VLAN ID, the hybrid or trunk port forwards the packets received without VLAN tags to
the default VLAN. If the port receives a packet with the default VLAN tag, it will remove
the tag before forwarding the packet.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-10
To do … Use the command …
Set the default VLAN ID for the hybrid port port hybrid pvid vlan vlan-id
Set the default VLAN ID for the trunk port port trunk pvid vlan vlan-id
Restore the default VLAN ID of the hybrid port
to the default value undo port hybrid pvid
Restore the default VLAN ID of the trunk port to
the default value undo port trunk pvid
Caution:
To guarantee the proper packet transmission, the default VLAN ID of the local hybrid
port or Trunk port should be identical with that of the hybrid port or Trunk port on the
peer switch.
The default VLAN on the hybrid or trunk port is VLAN 1 and that on the access port is
the VLAN to which it belongs.
1.2.15 Setting the VLAN VPN Feature on a Port
A VLAN Tag consists of 12 bits (defined by IEEE802.1Q), so Ethernet Switches can
support up to 4 K VLANs. Yet, this is far from enough for a network like MAN
(metropolitan area network), where a large number of VLANs are required to isolate
users.
The port VLAN VPN feature allows your switch to tag an originally tagged packet,
namely, to mark the packet with another VLAN Tag besides the original one, thus
providing VLANs as many as 4 K x 4 K. In addition, the use of dual tags allows you to
use the original VLAN Tag for differentiating users and services and the new VLAN Tag
for carrying services and VPNs, making VPN configuration simple and practicable.
Through VLAN VPN configuration, Ethernet Switches can better meet the requirement
in MAN.
If VLAN VPN is enabled on a port, every packet received on the port (no matter whether
the packet carries a VLAN Tag or not) will be given a new Tag that specifies the default
VLAN of this port. Thus, a tagged packet received on the port will be sent out with dual
tags and an untagged one will be sent out with only the default VLAN tag of the port.
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-11
To do … Use the command …
Enable the port VLAN VPN feature vlan-vpn enable
Disable the port VLAN VPN feature undo vlan-vpn
Note that if GVRP, STP, or 802.1x has been enabled on the port, you will be unable to
enable the VLAN VPN feature.
By default, the port VLAN VPN feature is disabled.
1.2.16 Enabling/Disabling the VLAN Filtering Function on an Ethernet Port
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Enable the VLAN filtering function vlan filter enable
Disable the VLAN filtering function vlan filter disable
By default, the VLAN filtering function is enabled on Ethernet ports.
With the VLAN filtering function enabled, the port permits only the packets of the VLAN
where it resides. With the VLAN filtering function disabled, the port forwards all the
packets it received.
1.2.17 Copying Port Configurations to Other Ports
To keep the configurations of some ports consistent with a specified port, you can use
the copy configuration command to copy the configurations of that specified port to
the other ports. Such configurations may involve STP, QoS, LACP, and port settings as
follows:

Note:
zUsing the copy configuration command will clear protocol VLAN attributes of the
destination port, but it will not copy the protocol VLAN attributes of the source port to
the destination port.
zWith the copy configuration command, you can only copy the configurations of
Ethernet ports, Gigabit Ethernet ports and aggregation groups.
zYou cannot copy the configuration of a port to ports of XP4B and XP4CA LPUs.
zThe uplink port of an isolation group cannot be configured as the source port or
destination port in the copy configuration command.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
To do … Use the command …
Copy port configurations
to other ports
copy configuration source { interface-type
interface-number |aggregation-group agg-id }
destination { interface-list [ aggregation-group
agg-id ] | aggregation-group agg-id }
Caution:
If the copy source is an aggregation group, the selected port with the least port number
is taken as the source; if the copy destination is an aggregation group, the
configurations of all ports in the group are updated to the configurations of the source.
You cannot specify a dynamic aggregation group as the destination port in the copy
command.
1.2.18 Setting the Link-State Hold Time
Frequent port up/down may affect the performance of the switch. To avoid the situation,
you may configure the link-state hold time.
The system can record and report port changes to the user in one of the following two
ways.
zInterruption report: The switch does not suppress port state change reporting and
reports the changes immediately.
zPolling report: The switch suppresses port state change reporting. You can use
the link-status hold command to set the link-state hold time.
With the link-state hold time set to zero seconds, the switch always prefers the
interruption report mode to the polling report mode, so long as the former is supported.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
1-14
With the link-state hold time set to a non-zero value, the port adopts the polling report
mode, whether the interruption report mode is supported or not.
Therefore, you can switch the port state change reporting mode by setting the link-state
hold time.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
To do … Use the command …
Set the link-state hold time link-status hold hold-time
Restore the default value undo link-status hold
The default link-state hold time is 3 seconds.
1.2.19 Setting the Ethernet Port in Loopback Mode
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet port view.
To do … Use the command …
Set the Ethernet port in loopback mode loopback {external |internal }
Remove loopback configuration on the port undo loopback
Note:
At present, the Ethernet ports of the S9500 series switches do not support the external
loopback mode.
By default, the Ethernet port is not in loopback mode.

1.5 Troubleshooting Ethernet Ports
Symptom 1: Default VLAN ID configuration fails.
Solution: Take the following steps:
zExecute the display interface or display port command to check whether the
port is a trunk port or a hybrid port. If it is neither, configure it as a trunk or hybrid
port.
zConfigure the default VLAN ID.
Symptom 2: The port is in down status.

Operation Manual – Ethernet Port
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Ethernet Port Configuration
