Port Status and Basic Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
Note that in the above syntax you can substitute an “int” for “interface” and an
“e” for “ethernet”; that is int e <port-list>.
For example, to configure ports C1 through C3 and port C6 for 100 Mbps full-
duplex, you would enter these commands:
ProCurve(config)# int e c1-c3,c6 speed-duplex 100-full
Similarly, to configure a single port with the settings in the above command,
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.
■ These commands enable and configure port C8 from the config level:
ProCurve(config)# int e c8 enable
ProCurve(config)# int e c8 speed-duplex 100-full
ProCurve(config)# int e c8 flow-control
■ These commands select the context level for port C8 and then apply all
of the configuration commands to port C8:
ProCurve(config)# int e c8
ProCurve(eth-C8)# enable
ProCurve(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full
ProCurve(eth-C8)# flow-control
Using the CLI To Configure a Broadcast Limit
The switches covered in this guide use a single broadcast-limit setting for all
ports on the switch. This command operates at the global configuration level
to configure one global instance of the broadcast limit for all ports on the
switch. To implement the command you must also execute write-memory and
reboot the switch.
Note You must execute write memory and reboot the switch to implement the new
broadcast-limit setting. Even though the broadcast-limit setting appears in the
show running output and (after write memory) in the startup-config output, the
switch does not implement the new setting until rebooted.
