Speed - Cisco Catalyst 2950 Command Reference Manual

speed

speed
Use the speed interface configuration command to specify the speed of a port. Use the no form of this
command to return to the default setting.
You cannot configure speed or duplex mode on Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports, but for certain
Note
types of GBICs, you can configure speed to not negotiate (nonegotiate) if they are connected to a device
that does not support autonegotiation.

SFP ports only operate at 1000 Mbps, and those with a 1000 BASE-T module installed can only be
configured for full-duplex mode.

no speed
Port runs at 10 Mbps.
Port runs at 100 Mbps.
Port runs at 1000 Mbps (only valid for Gigabit Ethernet ports).
Port automatically detects whether it should run at 10 or 100 Mbps on Fast
Ethernet ports or at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps on 10/100/1000 and SFP-module ports.
If you use the 10, 100, or 1000 keywords with the auto keyword, the port only
autonegotiates at the specified speeds.
Autonegotiation is disabled, and the port runs at 1000 Mbps. This option is valid
and visible only on 1000BASE-X, -LX, and -ZX GBIC ports. Gigastack GBICs
and 1000BASE-T GBICs do not suport disabling of autonegotiation.
Modification
This command was introduced.
The nonegotiate keyword was added.
Support for the 10, 100, and 1000 keywords with the auto keyword was
added.
