HP J2000 - Editing Bridge Settings

Editing bridge settings
Prerequisites
Requires Administrator or Operator privileges
Procedure
1. Navigate to the BRIDGES tab.
2. Select a bridge.
The selected bridge is identified following the list of installed bridges; for example, IOM 1 | Bridge 1.
3. Edit the following bridge settings according to your requirements. When changing most bridge settings, a confirmation
prompt appears. Click Update to confirm the change.
VLAN Id: The bridges support the IEEE
8021Q VLAN Protocol. When enabled, the VLAN identifier is a number in the
range of 1 to 4094. Packets that do not have the same VLAN identifier are dropped. Check mark and cancel icons
appear when the VLAN Id value is changed. Select the check mark to accept the change or the red X to cancel the
change. By default, VLAN is disabled.
Flow control type: Ethernet flow control temporarily stops the transmission of data on an Ethernet link to avoid
packet drops by the receiver. The bridge supports three flow control methods: PFC (IEEE 8021Qbb priority flow
control),
802.3x (IEEE 8023x flow control using pause frames), and None. It is important to configure the bridge,
switch, and hosts with the same flow control policies.
Flow control priority: When using priority flow control, this number (in the subsequent field) is used to set the frame
priority. Enter the priority number for the selected bridge and click the green check to confirm.
DSCP:
Dierentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a packet header value that can be used to request high priority or
best eort delivery for traic. Slide the toggle to the right to enable DSCP.
RX flow control and TX flow control: When using 8023x flow control, the RX Pause Flow Control and TX PauseFlow
Control fields apply, which are set by default in accordance with company policy.
Forward error correction: Forward error correction (FEC) is configurable. In general, 100 GbE uses Reed-Solomon
and the 25/50 GbE uses either Reed-Solomon or FireCode. Some switches can only use FireCode. The FEC must match
between the bridge and the switch.
LLDP enabled: The IEEE
8021AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standard method for Ethernet devices to
broadcast identity information on Ethernet links. If enabled on the bridge, LLDP packets containing the network
configuration information for the bridge are periodically transmitted. These packets are useful for identifying which
switch port is connected to the bridge. The switch displays the bridge MAC address in the switch port information.
Slide the toggle to the right to enable LLDP.
DCBX enabled: The Data Center Bridging Capabilities Exchange Protocol (DCBX) is an extension of LLDP to allow
network peers to coordinate their PFC and priority groups configuration. Enabling DCBX requires LLDP to be enabled.
Power: to stop power to the bridge, slide the Power toggle to the left (OFF). To start power to the bridge, slide the
Power toggle to the right (ON).
Restart bridge: To return the selected bridge to its factory default settings, click the Restart Bridge button.
Details: To display extensive static information for the selected bridge, click Details. This information includes settings
such as statistics, firmware and hardware versions, configuration settings, and detailed information for each Ethernet
port in use.
