Configuring Basic Settings Of An Ethernet Interface - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

Step
6. Set the MTU for the
interface.

Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface

You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:
• Full-duplex mode (full)—Interfaces that operate in this mode can send and receive packets
simultaneously.
Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces that operate in this mode cannot send and receive packets
•
simultaneously.
Auto-negotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces that operate in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with
•
their peers.
You can set the speed of an external Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed
with its peer. For a 100-Mbps or 1000-Mbps external Ethernet interface, you can also set speed options
for auto negotiation. The two ends can select a speed only from the available options. For more
information, see

Remarks
Optional.
By default, the MTU of an Ethernet interface is 1500
bytes.
Remarks

Optional.
By default, the description of an interface is in the format
of interface-name Interface. For example,
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 Interface.
Optional.
By default, the duplex mode is full for internal Ethernet
interfaces and auto for the other Ethernet interfaces.
The half keyword is not applicable to internal Ethernet
interfaces and fiber ports.
Optional.
By default, the speed of an internal Ethernet interface is
the maximum rate of the interface, and any other
Ethernet interface automatically negotiates a speed with
the peer.
The 10 and 100 keywords are not applicable to internal
Ethernet interfaces. The 10, 100, and 10000 keywords
are not applicable to fiber ports with SFP transceiver
modules plugged. The 10, 100, and 1000 keywords
are not applicable to fiber ports with SFP+ transceiver
modules plugged. The 10000 keyword is applicable to
only fiber ports with SFP+ transceiver modules plugged.
