gig-default

Configures the Gbps fiber negotiation mode on individual ports, overriding the global configuration mode.

Syntax

gig-default { neg-full-auto | auto-gig | neg-off }
no gig-default { neg-full-auto | auto-gig | neg-off }

Command Default

The globally configured Gbps negotiation mode is the default mode for all Gbps fiber ports.

Parameters

neg-full-auto
Configures the port to first try to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability information. If the other port does not respond to the handshake attempt, the port uses the manual configuration (or the defaults if an administrator has not configured the information). That is, the device performs autonegotiation first and if it is failed then performs non-autonegotiation. This is the default.
auto-gig
Configures the port to try to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability information.
neg-off
Configures the port to not try to perform a handshake. Instead, the port uses information that was manually configured by an administrator.

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

NOTE
When Gbps negotiation mode is turned off (CLI command gig-default neg-off), the device may inadvertently take down both ends of a link. This is a hardware limitation for which there is currently no workaround.

The no form of the command resets the configuration to the default of trying to perform a handshake with other ports to exchange capability information.

Examples

The following example sets the negotiation mode to auto-gig mode for ports 1/1/1 to 1/1/4.

device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
device(config-mif-1/1/1-1/1/4)# gig-default auto-gig
