Note

  • 10G Dongle (P3584) has Base T1 Port role set to Primary mode by default and it does not support Auto-negotiation. Hence user connecting 10G dongle to 3960 Base-T1 port will have to change the 10G Base-t1 role of dongle to Secondary role using the “sm 0” command in dongle UART console.

  • For all 1G and 100M speed ports, 1G dongle i.e P3751 must be used. For all 10G speed ports, 10G dongle i.e P3584 must be used. 1G dongle(P3751) does not support 10G speed and 10G dongle (P3584) does not support 1G/100M speed.

Steps:

  1. Connect the dongle type C port to host machine using USB cable.

  2. Open the dongle uart console using command sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 (ttyACM device number can vary based on the devices connected)

  3. Run command sm 0.

  4. Reset/restart the 3960 board, if needed.
