Changing the 802.3x Gigabit Negotiation Mode
The globally configured Gigabit negotiation mode for 802.3x flow control is the default mode for all Gigabit ports.
You can override the globally configured default and set individual ports to the following:
•
Negotiate-full-auto – The port first tries to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability
information. If the other port does not respond to the handshake attempt, the port uses the manually
configured configuration information (or the defaults if an administrator has not set the information). This is
the default.
•
Auto-Gigabit – The port tries to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability information.
•
Negotiation-off – The port does not try to perform a handshake. Instead, the port uses configuration
information manually configured by an administrator.
USING THE CLI
To change the mode for individual ports, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# int ethernet 4/1 to 4/4
HP9300(config-mif-4/1-4/4)# gig-default auto-gig
This command overrides the global setting and sets the negotiation mode to auto-Gigabit for ports 4/1 – 4/4.
Syntax: gig-default neg-full-auto | auto-gig | neg-off
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
To override the global 802.3x negotiation mode for an Gigabit individual port on a Chassis device:

5.
Select one of the following values from the Gig Port Default field's pulldown menu:
•
Default – The port uses the negotiation mode that was set at the global level.
•
Neg-off – The port does not try to perform a handshake. Instead, the port uses configuration information
manually configured by an administrator.
•
Auto-Gig – The port tries to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability information.
•
Neg-Full-Auto – The port first tries to perform a handshake with the other port to exchange capability
information. If the other port does not respond to the handshake attempt, the port uses the manually
configured configuration information (or the defaults if an administrator has not set the information).
