Modifying Port Speed

The 8100fl switch ports are designed to auto-negotiate the speed and mode of
the connected device. If the attached device does not support auto-
negotiation, you can manually enter the port speed to operate at either 100
Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
To modify a port speed, enter the speed command from the interface
configuration mode. For example, to change the port speed of gigabitethernet
port 5 in slot 2 to 100 Mbps, enter the following:
ProCurve(config)#interface gi 2/5
ProCurve(config-if)#speed fastethernet
The speed <value> that you enter can be one of the following:
• auto – sets the speed to auto-negotiate mode
• fastethernet – sets the speed to 100Mbps
• gigabit – sets the speed to 1000Mbps

Modifying Port Mode

The mode command can be used to control behavior for a specified interface.
The two command options are no mode (the default) or mode slave, which sets
the mac to act in slave mode. For example, to change the port speed of ethernet
port 6 in slot 1 to act in slave mode, enter the following:
ProCurve(config)#interface et 1/6
ProCurve(config-if)#mode slave

Disabling or Re-enabling Flow Control

The flowcontrol and no flowcontrol commands allows you to configure ports
on the switch to operate with or without flow control (802.3.x). Flow control
is enabled by default.
For example, to disable flow control on ethernet port 8 in slot 1, enter the
following:
ProCurve(config)#interface et 1/8
ProCurve(config-if)#no flowcontrol
