Customizing The Port Configuration - HP procurve Installation Manual

Customizing the Port Configuration

If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch
was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the
module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for
most networks.
The default port configurations for the modules are:
Ports Enabled: Yes


Mode:


• 10/100-TX GL Module: Auto — The port auto negotiates speed (10
or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and MDI or
MDI-X port operation. Note: if you configure the port to one of the
fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an MDI-X
port.
100/1000-T GL Module: Auto — The port auto negotiates speed
•
(1000 or 100 Mbps), communication mode (half or full duplex), and
MDI or MDI-X port operation. Note: if you configure the port to one
of the fixed 100 Mbps modes, the port will then operate only as an
MDI-X port.
• Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX ports in Gigabit Transceiver GL
Module and mini-GBIC GL Module: Auto — The port always
operates at 1000 Mbps and auto negotiates the communication mode
(half or full duplex).
Flow Control: Disabled


Advanced Features: Spanning Tree, Trunking, VLANs, Security, etc.: all


Disabled
If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console
or the web browser interface. For more information, see the Management and
Configuration Guide shipped on the documentation CD that came with the
switch, and the online Help provided in the console and web browser inter-
face.
If the default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network,
then skip this process.
