Configuring the operating mode of an Ethernet interface

CAUTION:
To avoid packet loss caused by congestion, you must perform the same PFC configuration on all ports
•
that the packets pass through.
To configure DCBX on the port of an HP 5820X switch series, you must use the priority-flow-control
•
auto command to enable PFC. Otherwise, PFC data cannot be advertised. For more information
about DCBX, see the chapter "LLDP configuration."
To use the PFC feature on a link, ensure that it is enabled on both ends of the link. An interface
•
processes PFC pause frames only when PFC is enabled on it.
The relationship between the PFC function and the generic flow control function is shown in
An Ethernet interface operates either in Layer 2 (bridge) or Layer 3 (route) mode. To meet networking
requirements, you can use a command to set the operating mode of an Ethernet interface to bridge or
route.
To change the operating mode of an Ethernet interface:
To do...
1. Enter system view
Use the command...
speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 |
10000 | auto }
shutdown

transceiver.
• The 10000 and auto parameters if
installed with a 10G SFP+
transceiver.
A a Gigabit SFP port supports:
• The 1000 and auto parameters if
installed with a Gigabit SFP
transceiver.
