The uplink port on an access device connects to the upper layer device to forward access device data to the upstream network and forward upper layer device data to users.

Prerequisites

The planned virtual local area network (VLAN) is already configured.

Procedure

1. Configure an upstream port for the VLAN.

   Run port vlan command to add the upstream port to the VLAN.

2. Configure the attribute of the upstream port.

   If the default attribute of the upstream port does not meet the requirement for interconnection of the upstream port with the upper-layer device, you need to configure the attribute. For configuration details, see Configuring the Attributes of an Upstream Ethernet Port.

3. (Optional) Configure redundancy backup for the uplink.

   To ensure reliability of the uplink, two upstream ports must be available. That is, redundancy backup of the upstream ports needs to be configured. For details, see Configuring Ethernet Link Aggregation.

Example

Assume that the 0/9/0 and 0/9/1 upstream ports are to be added to VLAN 50. The 0/9/0 and 0/9/1 need to be configured into an aggregation group for double upstream accesses. For the two upstream ports, the working mode is full-duplex (full) and the port rate is 100 Mbit/s. To configure such upstream ports, do as follows:

huawei(config)#port vlan 50 0/9 0
huawei(config)#port vlan 50 0/9 1 
huawei(config)#interface mpu 0/9
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#duplex 0 full
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#duplex 1 full
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#speed 0 1000
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#speed 1 1000
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#quit

Configuring the Attributes of an Upstream Ethernet Port

This topic describes how to configure the attributes of a specified Ethernet port so that the system communicates with the upstream device in the normal state.

Prerequisites

The upstream interface board must be in position and must work in the normal state.

Context

The MA5800 should be interconnected with the upstream device through the Ethernet port. Therefore, pay attention to the consistency of port attributes.

Default Configuration

Table 1 lists the default settings of the attributes of an Ethernet port.

Table 1 Default settings of the attributes of an Ethernet port

Parameter	Auto-negotiation mode of the port	Port rate	Duplex mode	Network cable adaptation mode	Flow control
Default Setting (Optical Port)	Enabled	FE optical port: 100 Mbit/s GE optical port: 1000 Mbit/s 10GE optical port: 10000 Mbit/s	Full-duplex, read only	Not supported	Disabled
Default Setting (Electrical Port)	Enabled	NA NOTE: After the auto-negotiation mode of the port is disabled, you can configure the port rate.	NA NOTE: After the auto-negotiation mode of the port is disabled, you can configure the duplex mode.	FE electrical port: auto GE electrical port: normal	Disabled

Procedure

• Configure the physical attributes of an Ethernet port.
  1. (Optional) Set the auto-negotiation mode of the Ethernet port.

     Run the auto-neg command to set the auto-negotiation mode of the Ethernet port. You can enable or disable the auto-negotiation mode:

     • After the auto-negotiation mode is enabled, the port automatically negotiates with the peer port for the rate and working mode of the Ethernet port.
     • After the auto-negotiation mode is disabled, the rate and working mode of the port are in the forced mode (adopt default values or are set through command lines).
     NOTICE:

     The mode (auto-negotiation mode or forced mode) of the OLT port must be consistent with that of the interworking port. Otherwise, the communication fails.

  2. (Optional) Set the rate of the Ethernet port.

     Run the speed command to set the rate of the Ethernet port. After the port rate is set successfully, the port works at the set rate. Pay attention to the following points:

     • Make sure that the rate of the Ethernet port is the same as that of the interconnected port on the peer device. This prevents communication failure.
     • The auto-negotiation mode should be disabled.

  3. (Optional) Set the duplex mode of the Ethernet port.

     Run the duplex command to set the duplex mode of the Ethernet port. The duplex mode of an Ethernet port can be full-duplex, half-duplex, or auto negotiation. Pay attention to the following points:

     • Make sure that the ports of two interconnected devices work in the same duplex modes. This prevents communication failure.
     • The auto-negotiation mode should be disabled.
     • The duplex mode of optical ports does not support configuration.

  4. (Optional) Configure the network cable adaptation mode of the Ethernet port.

     Run the mdi command to configure the network cable adaptation mode of the Ethernet port to match the actual network cable. The network adaptation modes are as follows:

     • normal: Specifies the adaptation mode of the network cable as straight-through cable. In this case, the network cable connecting to the Ethernet port must be a straight-through cable.
     • across: Specifies the adaptation mode of the network cable as crossover cable. In this case, the network cable connecting to the Ethernet port must be a crossover cable.
     • auto: Specifies the adaptation mode of the network cable as auto-sensing. The network cable can be a straight-through cable or crossover cable.
     Pay attention to the following points:
     • The Ethernet optical port does not support the network cable adaptation mode.
     • If the Ethernet electrical port works in forced mode (auto-negotiation mode disabled), the network cable type of the port cannot be configured to auto.

• Configure flow control on the Ethernet port.

  Run the flow-control command to enable flow control on the Ethernet port. When the flow of an Ethernet port is heavy, run this command to control the flow to prevent network congestion, which may cause the loss of data packets. Flow control should be supported on both the local and peer devices. Pay attention to the following points:

  • If the peer device does not support flow control, generally, enable flow control on the local device.
  • If the peer device supports flow control, generally, disable flow control on the local device.
  By default, flow control is disabled.

• Mirror the Ethernet port.

  Run the mirror port command to mirror the Ethernet port. When the system is faulty, copy the traffic of a certain port to the other port and output the traffic for traffic observation, network fault diagnosis, and data ***ysis.

Example

Ethernet port 0/9/0 is an electrical port. The attribute is as follows: The port rate is 1000 Mbit/s in duplex mode, with supporting flow control, not supporting auto-negotiation function. Do as follows:

huawei(config)#interface mpu 0/9
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#auto-neg 0 disable
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#speed 0 1000
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#duplex 0 full
huawei(config-if-mpu-0/9)#flow-control 0

huawei(config)#link-aggregation 0/9 0 0/9 1 egress-ingress workmode lacp-static

After the auto-negotiation mode of the port is disabled, you can configure the port rate.

Speed is the command to configure the rate of the upstream port on MA5800.

When the port is in the auto-negotiation mode, if you need to change the port rate to the specified rate, run the auto-neg command to disable the auto-negotiation mode of the port.

speed

Function

This command is used to set the transmission rate of the Ethernet port. After that, the port works at the specified rate.

Format

speed { portid | all } { 10 | 100 | 1000 | 10000 }

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
portid	Indicates the port number. When you need to deliver commands to a specified port, use this parameter.	Numeral type. Its range varies with the board type.
all	Delivers this command to all the ports on the current board.	-
10	Sets the port rate of the Ethernet port to 10 Mbit/s.	-
100	Sets the port rate of the Ethernet port to 100 Mbit/s.	-
1000	Sets the port rate of the Ethernet port to 1000 Mbit/s.	-
10000	Sets the port rate of the Ethernet port to 10000 Mbit/s.	-

Modes

ETH mode

Level

Operator level

Usage Guidelines

• To enter the ETH mode, run the config command to enter global config mode, and then run the interface eth command.
• The basic principle for setting the Ethernet port is that the rates of the corresponding ports on two connected device must be the same to avoid the communication failure.
• The FE optical port supports only the port rate of 100 Mbit/s (default: 100 Mbit/s).
• The GE optical port supports only the port rate of 1000 Mbit/s (default: 1000 Mbit/s).
• The 10 GE optical port supports only the port rate of 10000 Mbit/s (default: 10000 Mbit/s).
• The GE electrical port supports only the port rates of 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, 1000Mbit/s and auto-negotiation (default: auto-negotiation).

CAUTION:

When the port is in the auto-negotiation mode, if you need to change the port rate to the specified rate, run the auto-neg command to disable the auto-negotiation mode of the port.

Example

To set the rate of port 0/9/0 to 100 Mbit/s, do as follows:

huawei(config-if-eth-0/9)#
{ portid<U><0,1> }:0
{ 10000<K>|1000<K>|100<K>|10<K> }:100

  Command:
           0 100

System Response

• The system does not display any message after the rate of an Ethernet port is set successfully.
