Port Status and Basic Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
■ 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.
N o t e
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.
For example, to configure a broadcast limit of 20% for all ports on the switch:
ProCurve(config)# int 5-6 broadcast-limit 20
Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot
ProCurve(config)# write memory
ProCurve(config)# boot
