Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Configuring Port Settings
This section describes how to configure the following port settings: port name, speed-duplex
parameter, and flow control state. Refer to the “Configuring Port Security” section later in
this chapter for information on how to set the port security parameters.
The speed-duplex parameter for each port can be set to 1000M/Full, 100M/Full, 100M/Half,
10M/Full, 10M/Half, or Auto. The Auto setting allows the port to automatically determine
the fastest settings that the device the port is connected to can handle.
IMPORTANT: In the forced 100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, and 10M/Half modes, auto MDI-X is
disabled and a cross-over cable must be used.
IMPORTANT: If you have the ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Kit option with the DualTSX
Interconnect Modules, the management interface supports only 1000M/Full and Auto options for the
speed/duplex settings for Gigabit uplink ports. The fiber Dual TSX Interconnect module supports only
1000-Mb/s (Gigabit) speed, and not 10-Mb/s or 100-Mb/s.
To configure port settings:
1. Highlight Configure Ports from the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Configure Ports screen allows you to configure the name, speed-duplex, and flow
control for each port.
3. Toggle the View Ports field, using the spacebar, to display the configuration of
Ports 1 through 12 or Ports 13 through 24.
4. Type the number of the port that you want to configure in the Configure Port field.
5. Type the port name in the Port Name field.
6. Toggle the State field to enable or disable a given port.
