Port Status and Basic Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
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 per-port broadcast-limit settings. This
command operates at the port context level to configure an individual instance
of the broadcast limit for the ports included in a given context. The switch
implements the new broadcast limit immediately in the running-config file.
(Rebooting is not necessary.) Use write-memory to save the configuration to
the startup-config file.
For example, to configure a broadcast limit of 45% on ports 1 - 10 in a switch
covered in this guide:
Syntax: interface < port-list > broadcast-limit < 0 - 99 >
Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that
can be used on the specified switch port(s) for broadcasts and
multicasts. The switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic
exceeding that limit. Zero (0) disables the feature on the
specified port(s).
