Step Command Remarks
10. Enter system view. system-view N/A
11. Change the link mode of
Ethernet interfaces.
• (Method 1) In system view:
port link-mode { bridge | route }
interface-list
• (Method 2) In Ethernet interface
view:
a. interface interface-type
interface-number
b. port link-mode { bridge |
route }
Use either method.
By default, Ethernet interfaces
operate in bridge mode.

Configuring an Ethernet interface
CAUTION:
Because a 1000-Mbps interface cannot operate in half duplex mode, you cannot use the duplex half
command together with the following commands: speed 1000 and speed auto 1000 [ 10 | 100 ] *.
You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:
• Full-duplex mode (full)—Interfaces operating in this mode can send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces operating in this mode can either send or receive packets at a
given time.
• Auto-negotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces operating in this mode determine a duplex mode
through auto-negotiation.
You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its
peer. For auto-negotiation, you can also set speed options. The two ends can pick a speed only from the
options. For a 100-Mbps or 1000-Mbps Layer 2 Ethernet interface, you can also set speed options for
auto negotiation. The two ends can pick a speed only from the available options. For more information,
see "
Setting speed options for auto negotiation on an Ethernet interface ."
