Port Status and Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
Note that in the above syntax you can substitute an "int" for "interface"; that
is: int < port-list >.
The 10/100 auto-negotiation feature allows a port to establish a link with a port
at the other end at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, using the highest mutual speed
and duplex mode available. Only these speeds are allowed with this setting.
For example, to configure port C5 for auto-10-100, enter this command:
ProCurve(config)# int c5 speed-duplex auto-10-100
To configure ports C1 through C3 and port C6 for 100Mbps full-duplex, you
would enter these commands:
ProCurve(config)# int c1-c3,c6 speed-duplex 100-full
Similarly, to configure a single port with the above command settings, you
could either enter the same command with only the one port identified, or go
to the context level for that port and then enter the command. For example,
to enter the context level for port C6 and then configure that port for 100FDx:
ProCurve(config)# int e c6
ProCurve(eth-C6)# speed-duplex 100-full
If port C8 was disabled, and you wanted to enable it and configure it for
100FDx with flow-control active, you could do so with either of the following
command sets.
ProCurve(config)# int c8 enable
ProCurve(config)# int c8 speed-duplex 100-full
ProCurve(config)# int c8 flow-control
ProCurve(config)# int c8
ProCurve(eth-C8)# enable
ProCurve(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full

Refer to "Enabling or Disabling Flow Control" on page 10-17 for more on flow
control.
10-16
Specifies the port's data transfer speed and mode. Does
not use the no form of the command. ([Default: auto.)
These commands enable and configure
port C8 from the config level:
These commands select the port C8
context level and then apply the
subsequent configuration commands to
port C8:
