Optimizing Port Usage Through Traffic Control and Port Trunking

Viewing Port Status and Configur ing Port Parameters

Ports: Traffic Control

and Trunking

Using the CLI To Configure Ports. You can configure one or more of the

following port parameters. For details on each option, see Table 11-1 on page

11-3.

Syntax: [no] interface <[ethernet] port-list>

disable | enable

speed-duplex

flow-control

Note that in the above syntax you can subsitute an “int” for “interface” and an

“e” for “ethernet”; that is int e <port-list>.

For example, to configure ports C1 through C3 and port C6 for 100Mbps full-

duplex, you would enter these commands:

HP4108(config)# int e c1-c3,c6 speed-duplex 100-full

Similarly, to configure a single port with the settings in the above command,

you could either enter the same command with only the one port identifie d,

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 :

HP4108(config)# int e c6

HP4108(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 e ither of the following

command sets.

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

HP4108(config)# int e c8 enable

HP4108(config)# int e c8 speed-duplex 100-full

HP4108(config)# int e c8 flow-control

■These commands select the context leve l for port C8 and then apply all

of the configuration commands to port C8:

HP4108(config)# int e c8

HP4108(eth-C8)# enable

HP4108(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full

HP4108(eth-C8)# flow-control
