Enabling or Disabling Ports and Configuring Port Mode

You can configure one or more of the following port parameters.

Syntax: [no] interface < port-list >

[< disable enable >]

Disables or enables the port for network traffic. Does not use the no form of the command. (Default: enable.)

[speed-duplex < auto-10 10-full 10-half 100-full 100-half 1000-full auto auto 100 auto-1000 auto 10-100 >]

Specifies the port’s data transfer speed and mode. Does not use the no form of the command. (Default: auto.)

Note that in the above syntax you can substitute an “int” for “interface”; that is: int < port-list>.

The 10/100 auto-negotiation feature allows a port to establish a link with a port at the other end at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, using the highest mutual speed and duplex mode available. Only these speeds are allowed with this setting.

For example, to configure port 5 for auto-10-100, enter this command:

ProCurve(config)# int 5 speed-duplex auto-10-100

To configure ports 1 through 3 and port 6 for 100Mbps full-duplex, you would enter these commands:

ProCurve(config)# int 1-3,6 speed-duplex 100-full

Similarly, to configure a single port with the above command settings, you could either enter the same command with only the one port identified, or go to the context level for that port and then enter the command. For example, to enter the context level for port 6 and then configure that port for 100FDx:

ProCurve(config)# int e 6

ProCurve(eth-6)# speed-duplex 100-full

If port 8 was disabled, and you wanted to enable it and configure it for 100FDx with flow-control active, you could do so with either of the following com­ mand sets.
