To configure link negotiation on a port, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet
slot/port
Step 2
Router(config-if)# speed nonegotiate
Router(config-if)# no speed nonegotiate
This example shows how to enable link negotiation on Gigabit Ethernet port 5/4:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 5/4
Router(config-if)# no speed nonegotiate
Displaying the Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration
To display the speed and duplex mode configuration for a port, perform this task:
Command
Router# show interfaces type
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
This example shows how to display the speed and duplex mode of Fast Ethernet port 5/4:
Router# show interfaces fastethernet 5/4
