Installing the Modules
Default 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 connection parameters are:
■ Ports Enabled: Yes
■ Mode:
• 10/100/1000-T zl Modules: Auto — The port auto negotiates speed
(10, 100 or 1000 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.
• Dual Personality ports - (mini-GBIC ports using Gigabit-SX,
Gigabit-LX, and Gigabit-LH ports): Auto — The port always
operates at 1000 Mbps and full duplex. The setting is Auto for best
link establishment with other devices.
• Gigabit-SX, Gigabit-LX, and Gigabit-LH ports in mini-GBIC zl
Module: Auto — The port always operates at 1000 Mbps and full
duplex. The setting is Auto for best link establishment with other
devices.
■ Flow Control: Disabled
■ Advanced features — Spanning Tree, Trunking, Meshing, VLANs, IGMP,
LACP, Routing, Class of Service, Security, and so forth: all Disabled
If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console
orthe webbrowser interface.For more information,see theManagement and
Configuration Guidefor your switchat www.hp.com/networking/support, and
the online Help provided in the console and web browser interfaces. If the
default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network, then
skip this process.
Note By default, all ports on the J8702A and J8705A modules have PoE power
enabled. Ports on the J9307A and J9308A modules provide PoE+ power. For
information regarding customizing PoE and PoE+ ports refer to the HP Power
over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide at
www.hp.com/networking/support.
