# Management Port Highspeed

Highspeed management network port uses an Intel E810 Chipset either on 2 x SFP28 or 2 x QSFP28 port configuration. The following shows how to configure different port speeds in the 2 x QSFP28 port mode.

### Step 1) Bios

Press DEL to enter BIOS. Have to be quick as it only accepts for about 5 seconds before continuing on the boot process

```plaintext
 ifconfig -a | grep phy1[0-7]
```

Expected output, in 4 × 25G mode shown below

```plaintext
fmadio@fmadio200v4-636:~$ ifconfig -a | grep phy1[0-7]
phy10     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr B4:96:91:CF:89:A0
phy11     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr B4:96:91:CF:89:A1
