Setting the Type of a Dual-Purpose Uplink Port
The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP supports dual-purpose uplink ports. For more information,
see the
“Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports” section on page 9-6
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to select which dual-purpose uplink to activate so
that you can set the speed and duplex. This procedure is optional.
Port blocking (unknown multicast
and unknown unicast traffic)
Disabled (not blocked) (Layer 2 interfaces only). See the
“Configuring Port Blocking” section on page 23-8
.
Broadcast, multicast, and unicast
storm control
Disabled. See the
“Default Storm Control Configuration” section
on page 23-3
.
Protected port
Disabled (Layer 2 interfaces only). See the
“Configuring Protected
Ports” section on page 23-6
.
Port security

The switch might not support a pre-standard powered
device—such as Cisco IP phones and access points that do
not fully support IEEE 802.3af—if that powered device is
connected to the switch through a crossover cable. This is
regardless of whether auto-MIDX is enabled on the switch
port.
Keepalive messages
Disabled on SFP module ports; enabled on all other ports.
