Setting Up Speed Negotiation - HP AA-RS2WC-TE Installation Manual

Setting Up Speed Negotiation

There are two methods for configuring the ports on the HP StorageWorks Core
Switch 2/64. The port can be set to auto-sensing mode, which allows the port to
automatically be configured to the highest speed. Ports can also be set to a fixed
speed of either 1 or 2 Gbps.
To display the configuration settings of the ports on a switch, use the
portCfgShow command. The port speed is displayed as 1G (fixed speed of 1
Gbps), 2G (fixed speed of 2 Gbps), or AN (auto negotiate). To set the speed level
for all the ports on a switch, use the telnet command switchCfgSpeed. To set
the speed level for a single port, use the portCfgSpeed command.
Depending on your environment, you may need to force a port to use a specific
speed level because auto negotiation may not be supported by the device. Check
the configuration information for your network components for specific
requirements.
