If the switch either fails to show a link between an installed transceiver and another device or demonstrates errors or other unexpected behavior on the link, check the port configuration on both devices for a speed and/or duplex (mode) mismatch.
-
To check the mode setting for a port on the switch, use either the Port Status screen in the menu interface or
show interfaces briefin the CLI (see Viewing port status and configuration (CLI)). -
To display information about the transceivers installed on a switch, enter the
show tech receiverscommand in the CLI (The show tech transceivers command).
Status and parameters for each port type
The menu interface displays the configuration for ports and (if configured) any trunk groups.

NOTE: Each field has a fixed minimum width to be displayed. If you specify a field width smaller than the minimum width, the information is displayed at the minimum width. For example, if the minimum width for the Name field is 4 characters and you specify Name:2, the Name field displays 4 characters. |

You can enter parameters in any order. There is a limit of 80 characters per line; if you exceed this limit an error displays.

If you have included a pattern matching command to search for a field in the output of the show int custom command, and the show int custom command produces an error, the error message may not be visible and the output is empty. For example, if you enter a command that produces an error (such as vlan is misspelled) with the pattern matching include option, the output may be empty:
It is advisable to try the show int custom command first to ensure there is output, and then enter the command again with the pattern matching option.
Note that in the above command, you can substitute int for interface; that is: show int custom.

You can configure one or more of the following port parameters.
See Status and parameters for each port type.
Syntax:
Disables or enables the port for network traffic. Does not use the
noform of the command. (Default:enable.)
Note that in the above Syntax:, you can substitute
intforinterface(for example,int <).port-list>Specifies the port's data transfer speed and mode. Does not use the
noform of the command. (Default:auto.)The 10/100 auto-negotiation feature allows a port to establish a link with a port at the other end at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, using the highest mutual speed and duplex mode available. Only these speeds are allowed with this setting.
Examples:
To configure port C5 for auto-10-100, enter this command:
HP Switch(config)# int c5 speed-duplex auto-10-100
To configure ports C1 through C3 and port C6 for 100Mbps full-duplex, enter these commands:
HP Switch(config)# int c1-c3,c6 speed-duplex 100-full
Similarly, to configure a single port with the above command settings, you could either enter the same command with only the one port identified or go to the context level for that port and then enter the command. For example, to enter the context level for port C6 and then configure that port for 100FDx:
HP Switch(config)# int e c6 HP Switch(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:
For more on flow control, see Enabling or disabling flow control (CLI).

NOTE: You must enable flow control on both ports in a given link. Otherwise, flow control does not operate on the link and appears as |

To disable flow control on some ports, while leaving it enabled on other ports, just disable it on the individual ports you want to exclude.
(You can find more information on flow control in Status and parameters for each port type.)
Syntax:
Enables or disables flow control packets on the port. The
noform of the command disables flow control on the individual ports. (Default: Disabled.)

Assuming that flow control is currently disabled on the switch, you would use these commands:

A LAN broadcast storm arises when an excessively high rate of broadcast packets flood the LAN. Occurrence of LAN broadcast storm disrupts traffic and degrades network performance. To prevent LAN traffic from being disrupted, an enhancement of fault-finder commands adds new options, and the corresponding MIBs, that trigger a port disablement when a broadcast storm is detected on that port.
Under this enhancement, the CLI commands given only supports broadcast traffic and not multicast and unicast types of traffic.
The waiting period range for re-enabling ports is 0 to 604800 seconds. The default waiting period to re-enable a port is zero which prevents the port from automatic re-enabling.
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Avoid port flapping when choosing the waiting period by considering the time to re-enable carefully. |
|

Use the following commands to configure the broadcast-storm on a port.
Syntax:
To remove the current configuration of broadcast-storm on a port, use:

Copper ports on the switch can automatically detect the type of cable configuration (MDI or MDI-X) on a connected device and adjust to operate appropriately.
This means you can use a "straight-through" twisted-pair cable or a "crossover" twisted-pair cable for any of the connections—the port makes the necessary adjustments to accommodate either one for correct operation. The following port types on your switch support the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the "Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature:
-
10/100-TX xl module ports
-
100/1000-T xl module ports
-
10/100/1000-T xl module ports
-
If you connect a copper port using a straight-through cable on a switch to a port on another switch or hub that uses MDI-X ports, the switch port automatically operates as an MDI port.
-
If you connect a copper port using a straight-through cable on a switch to a port on an end node—such as a server or PC—that uses MDI ports, the switch port automatically operates as an MDI-X port.
Auto-MDIX was developed for auto-negotiating devices, and was shared with the IEEE for the development of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. Auto-MDIX and the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MID-X feature are completely compatible. Additionally, Auto-MDIX supports operation in forced speed and duplex modes.
For more information on this subject, see the IEEE 802.3ab Standard Reference. For more information on MDI-X, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch.
If you require control over the MDI/MDI-X feature, you can set the switch to either of these non-default modes:
-
Manual MDI
-
Manual MDI-X
Cable types for auto and manual MDI/MDI-X settings shows the cabling requirements for the MDI/MDI-X settings.

Syntax:

Syntax:
Syntax:
Where a port is linked to another device, this command lists the MDI mode the port is currently using.
In the case of ports configured for
Auto(auto-mdix), the MDI mode appears as eitherMDIorMDIX, depending upon which option the port has negotiated with the device on the other end of the link.In the case of ports configured for
MDIorMDIX, the mode listed in this display matches the configured setting.If the link to another device was up, but has gone down, this command shows the last operating MDI mode the port was using.
If a port on a given switch has not detected a link to another device since the last reboot, this command lists the MDI mode to which the port is currently configured.
The show interfaces config displays the following data when port A1 is configured for auto-mdix, port A2 is configured for mdi, and port A3 is configured for mdix:
