Flowcontrol - Dell Networking 7048 Reference Manual

parameter. Fiber ports do not support auto-negotiation and therefore require
the operator to enter the duplex full command and the speed
command with the desired operating bandwidth. Disabling auto-negotiation
on 1G copper ports may lead to random frame loss as the clock master has not
been arbitrated by the auto-negotiation process. Auto-negotiation is required
on 10G/40G copper ports, and is recommended on all copper ports.
Example
The following example configures the duplex operation of gigabit Ethernet
port 1/0/5 to force full duplex operation.
console(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/5
console(config-if)# duplex full
