Port Status and Basic Configuration

Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

If port C8 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 command sets.

These commands enable and configure port C8 from the config level:

HPswitch(config)# int e c8 enable HPswitch(config)# int e c8 speed-duplex 100-full HPswitch(config)# int e c8 flow-control

These commands select the context level for port C8 and then apply all of the configuration commands to port C8:

HPswitch(config)# int e c8 HPswitch(eth-C8)# enable HPswitch(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full HPswitch(eth-C8)# flow-control

 

Using the CLI To Configure a Broadcast Limit

 

The Series 2800 Switches use per-port broadcast-limit settings. The Switch

 

6108, Series 2600, Series 2600-PWR, and Series 4100GL Switches use a single

 

broadcast-limit setting for all ports on the switch.

 

Broadcast Limit on the Switch 6108, Series 2600, Series 2600-PWR,

 

and Series 4100gl Switches. This command operates at the global config­

 

uration level to configure one global instance of the broadcast limit for all

 

ports on the switch. To implement the command you must also execute write-

 

memory and reboot the switch.

 

 

N o t e

You must execute write memory and reboot the switch to implement the new

 

broadcast-limit setting. Even though the broadcast-limit setting appears in the

 

show running output and (after write memory) in the startup-config output, the

 

switch does not implement the new setting until rebooted.

 

Syntax: broadcast-limit < 0 . . 99 >

 

 

Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that

 

can be used on the switch ports for incoming broadcasts. The

 

switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic exceeding that

 

limit. Zero (0) disables the feature.
