Command Reference Guide
full-duplex
Use the full-duplex command to configure the wireless access point (AP) Ethernet interface for
full-duplex operation. This allows the interface to send and receive simultaneously. Use the no form of this
command to return to the default half-duplex operation.
This command is not available for the embedded access point module (EAPM). The EAPM
is fixed at full-duplex operation.
Syntax Description
No subcommands.
Default Values
By default, all AP Ethernet interfaces are configured for half-duplex operation.
Command History
Release 15.1
Functional Notes
Full-duplex Ethernet is a variety of Ethernet technology currently being standardized by the IEEE. Because
there is no official standard, vendors are free to implement their independent versions of full-duplex
operation. Therefore, it is not safe to assume that one vendor's equipment will work with another.
Devices at each end of a full-duplex link have the ability to send and receive data simultaneously over the
link. Theoretically, this simultaneous action can provide twice the bandwidth of normal (half-duplex)
Ethernet. To deploy full-duplex Ethernet, each end of the link must only connect to a single device. With
only two devices on a full-duplex link, there is no need to use the medium access control mechanism (to
share the signal channel with multiple stations) and listen for other transmissions or collisions before
sending data.
Usage Examples
The following example configures the AP's Ethernet interface for full-duplex operation:
(config)#interface dot11ap 1
(config-dot11ap 1)#full-duplex
60000CRG0-35E
Command was introduced for the AP interface.
