Setting Ethernet Combo Port Parameters
The following sections describe how to use CLI commands to configure combo ports on OmniSwitch
6400, 6800, 6850, and 6855 switches. OmniSwitch 9000 Series and OmniSwitch 9000E Series switches
do not support combo ports.

Setting the Combo Port Type and Mode
By default, all combo ports on the OmniSwitch Series switches are set to preferred fiber. The following
subsections describe how to set a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all combo ports on an

Setting Combo Ports to Forced Fiber
In forced fiber mode, combo ports will always use the fiber SFP connector instead of the equivalent
copper RJ-45 10/100/1000 port. To set a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all combo ports on
a switch to forced fiber, use the
copper RJ-45 10/100/1000 port. To set a single combo port, a range of combo ports, or all combo ports on
a switch to forced fiber, use the
To set all combo ports on an entire switch to forced fiber mode, enter interfaces, followed by the slot
number and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set all combo ports on slot 2 to forced fiber, enter:
number and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set all combo ports on slot 2 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 2 hybrid forced-fiber
To set a single combo port to forced fiber, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the
port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set port 23 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example, to set port 23 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 1/23 hybrid forced-fiber
To set a range of combo ports to forced fiber ports, enter interfaces, followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example,
to set combo ports 21 through 24 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and hybrid forced-fiber. For example,
to set combo ports 21 through 24 on slot 1 to forced fiber, enter:
-> interfaces 1/21-24 hybrid forced-fiber
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set port 23 on slot 1 to forced fiber and document the interface
type as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
