If the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet-2 card is installed, the 100Mbps Ethernet port is displayed as
port 4.
IP-Interface profile
TAOS creates a default IP-Interface profile for each Ethernet port it detects, including the shelf
controller. You can create multiple IP interfaces for each physical Ethernet port, but the default
IP-Interface profile must have an IP address, or the other IP-Interface profiles for the same port
will not function. For information about configuring IP-Interface profiles, see the
APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT WAN, Routing, and Tunneling Configuration Guide.
Configuring duplex mode on the 100Mbps Ethernet
port
The Duplex-Mode parameter in the Ethernet profile allows you to set the physical Ethernet
interface of the 100BaseT port on the Ethernet-2 or Ethernet-3 card to full-duplex or
half-duplex mode. Full-duplex mode (the default) provides increased throughput, but
half-duplex mode enables the unit to operate with older equipment that does not support full
duplex.
The following example sets the port to half-duplex mode:
admin> read ethernet { 1 7 4 }
ETHERNET/{ shelf-1 slot-7 4 } read
admin> list
[in ETHERNET/{ shelf-1 slot-7 4 }]
interface-address* = { shelf-1 slot-7 4 }
link-state-enabled = no
enabled = yes
ether-if-type = utp
bridging-enabled = no
filter-name = ""
duplex-mode = full-duplex
admin> set duplex-mode = half
admin> write
ETHERNET/{ shelf-1 slot-7 4 } written
