Configuring Basic Port Parameters - HP 9304m Installation And Getting Started Manual

Installation and Getting Started Guide
As with the banner motd command, you begin and end the message with a delimiting character; in this example,
the delimiting character is # (pound sign). To remove the banner, enter the no banner exec_mode command.
Syntax: [no] banner exec_mode <delimiting-character>
Displaying a Message on the Console When an Incoming Telnet Session Is Detected
You can configure the HP device to display a message on the Console when a user establishes a Telnet session.
This message indicates where the user is connecting from and displays a configurable text message.
For example:
HP9300(config)# banner incoming $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Incoming Telnet Session!! $
When a user connects to the CLI using Telnet, the following message appears on the Console:
Telnet from 209.157.22.63
Incoming Telnet Session!!
Syntax: [no] banner incoming <delimiting-character>
To remove the banner, enter the no banner incoming command.

Configuring Basic Port Parameters

The procedures in this section describe how to configure the following port parameters:
• Name – see "Assigning a Port Name" on page 4-20
• Speed – see "Modifying Port Speed" on page 4-20
• Mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) – see "Modifying Port Mode" on page 4-21
• Status – see "Disabling or Re-Enabling a Port" on page 4-22
• Flow control – see "Disabling or Re-Enabling Flow Control" on page 4-23
• Gigabit negotiate mode – see "Changing the 802.3x Gigabit Negotiation Mode" on page 4-23
• QoS priority – see "Modifying Port Priority (QoS)" on page 4-24
NOTE: To modify Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4 features on a port, see the appropriate section in this chapter or
other chapters. For example, to modify Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) parameters for a port, see "Modifying STP
Bridge and Port Parameters" on page 4-25.
NOTE: To configure trunk groups or dynamic link aggregation, see "Configuring Trunk Groups and Dynamic Link
Aggregation" on page 5-1.
All HP ports are pre-configured with default values that allow the device to be fully operational at initial startup
without any additional configuration. However, in some cases, changes to the port parameters may be necessary
to adjust to attached devices or other network requirements.
The current port configuration for all ports is displayed when you select the Port link from the Configure tree. You
can easily determine a port's state by observing the color in the Port field.
• Red – indicates there is no link.
• Green – indicates the link is good.
This example shows the port states for an HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M Routing Switch that has not yet
been connected to the rest of the network.
