Port Status and Configuration

Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

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 C5 for auto-10-100, enter this command:

ProCurve(config)# int c5 speed-duplex auto-10-100

To configure ports C1 through C3 and port C6 for 100Mbps full-duplex, you would enter these commands:

ProCurve(config)# int c1-c3,c6 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 C6 and then configure that port for 100FDx:

ProCurve(config)# int e c6

ProCurve(eth-C6)# speed-duplex 100-full

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.

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

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

ProCurve(config)# int c8 ProCurve(eth-C8)# enable ProCurve(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full

These commands select the port C8 context level and then apply the subsequent configuration commands to port C8:
