capabilities

This command advertises the port capabilities of a given interface during
autonegotiation. Use the no form with parameters to remove an advertised
capability, or the no form without parameters to restore the default values.

Syntax

[no] capabilities {1000full | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half |

flowcontrol | symmetric}

1000full - Supports 1 Gbps full-duplex operation
100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation
100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation
10half - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation
flowcontrol - Supports flow control
symmetric (Gigabit only) - When specified, the port transmits and

receives pause frames; when not specified, the port will
auto-negotiate to determine the sender and receiver for asymmetric
pause frames. (The current switch ASIC only supports symmetric pause
frames.

Default Setting

100BASE-TX: 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full
1000BASE-T: 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full
