HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 - SAN Switch Reference Manual page 365

Description: V4.1.x
Use this command to set the link operating mode for a network interface.
An operating mode is confirmed with a "y" or "yes" at the prompt. If the operating
mode selected differs from the current mode, the change is saved and the
command exits.
Changing the link mode is not supported for all network interfaces or for all
ethernet network interfaces. This command is only functional for the "eth0"
interface.
Exercise care when using this command. Forcing the link to an operating mode
not supported by the network equipment to which it is attached may result in an
inability to communicate with the system through its ethernet interface.
For dual-CP systems, the ifmodeset command affects the CP that you are
currently logged into. To set the link operating mode on the active CP you must
issue this command on the active CP. To set the link operating mode on the
standby CP you must issue this command on the standby CP. During failover the
link operating mode is retained separately for each CP, since the physical links
may be set to operate in different modes.
Operands
This command has the following operand:

Example
