This appendix provides some information on how to configure the following switches for use
with HP APA:
• Alteon
• Cisco
• Extreme
• Procurve
See your switch documentation for complete information.

Alteon switches

Alteon switches have 8 ports. Fiber blades support 1500 and 9000 MTU (jumbo frames). The
following interactive dialog describes how to establish a console connection:
switchname
Username>username
switchname(37)>> sh po all

Cisco 6509 switches

The throughput on the Cisco switch is different for fiber and copper ports. The fiber ports are
fabric enabled. This means that they hand off frames to one another with a throughput of 256
Gb/s. This is the equivalent of 64 GigE cards continuously transmitting and receiving at their
theoretical limits with no overhead. This section describes the following tasks:
• Configure a single port
• Show a single link
• Create an LACP link aggregation
• Create a PAgP link aggregation
NOTE: The information in this section pertains to Cisco IOS Version 12.2.
