Shutting Down An Ethernet Interface - HP A5830 Configuration Manual

Step...
2. Enter Ethernet interface view.
3. Set the interface description.
4. Set the duplex mode of the
interface.
5. Set the port speed.
6. Restore the default settings for
the interface.
Make sure that the fiber port speed matches the speed requirement of the inserted transceiver module. For
example, after you insert a 1000-Mbps transceiver module into a fiber port, configure the port speed with
the speed 1000 or speed auto command.
