Configuring maximum port speed advertisement
To configure a maximum port speed advertisement of 10 Mbps on a port that has auto-negotiation
enabled, enter a command such as the following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# link-config gig copper autoneg-control 10m ethernet 1
To configure a maximum port speed advertisement of 100 Mbps on a port that has

Modifying port duplex mode

You can manually configure a 10/100 Mbps port to accept either full-duplex (bi-directional) or
half-duplex (uni-directional) traffic.
NOTE
You can modify the port duplex mode of copper ports only. This feature does not apply to fiber ports.
Port duplex mode and port speed are modified by the same command.
