Port Status and Basic Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
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:
HPswitch(config)# int e c8 enable
HPswitch(config)# int e c8 speed-duplex 100-full
HPswitch(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:
HPswitch(config)# int e c8
HPswitch(eth-C8)# enable
HPswitch(eth-C8)# speed-duplex 100-full
HPswitch(eth-C8)# flow-control
Using the CLI To Configure a Broadcast Limit
The Series 2800 Switches use per-port broadcast-limit settings. The Switch
6108, Series 2600, Series 2600-PWR, and Series 4100GL Switches use a single
broadcast-limit setting for all ports on the switch.
Broadcast Limit on the Switch 6108, Series 2600, Series 2600-PWR,
and Series 4100gl Switches. This command operates at the global config-
uration 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.
Syntax: broadcast-limit < 0 . . 99 >
Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that
can be used on the switch ports for incoming broadcasts. The
switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic exceeding that
limit. Zero (0) disables the feature.
