Setting Up Speed Negotiation - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Reference Manual

Setting Up Speed Negotiation

44
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. 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.
Depending on your environment you may need to force a port to use a
specific speed level. Auto negotiation may not be supported by the device.
Check the configuration information for your network components for
specific requirements. See the hp StorageWorks fabric os reference for a
detailed command description.
