Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface

Configuring duplex mode and speed on an Ethernet interface

You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:
Full-duplex mode (full). Interfaces that operate in this mode can send and receive packets
•
simultaneously.
Half-duplex mode (half). Interfaces that operate in this mode cannot send and receive packets
•
simultaneously.
Auto-negotiation mode (auto). Interfaces that operate in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with
•
their peers.
You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its
peer. For a 1000-Mbps Layer 2 Ethernet interface, you can also set speed options for auto negotiation.
The two ends can select a speed only from the available options. For more information, see
speed options for auto negotiation on an Ethernet

copper port of an Ethernet port whose
port rate is configured as 1000 Mbps
do not support the half keyword.
Optional
