Port Status and Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

Syntax: show interfaces config

Lists the current per-port Auto/MDI/MDI-X configuration.

Syntax: show interfaces brief

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

either

MDI or MDIX, 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

MDI or MDIX, 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.

For example,

show interfaces config displays the following data when port 1 is

configured for

auto-mdix, port 2 is configured for mdi, and port 3 is configured

for

mdix.

ProCurve(config)# show interfaces config
