Step Command

Remarks

4.

Set the duplex mode of
the interface.

duplex { auto | full | half }

Optional.
By default, the duplex mode is auto.

5.

Set the port speed.

speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 |
10000 | auto }

Optional.
By default, an Ethernet interface
automatically negotiates a speed with the

peer.
GE fiber ports do not support the 10 or
10000 keyword.

You might need to shut down and then bring up an Ethernet interface to activate some configuration
changes, for example, the speed or duplex mode changes.
To shut down an Ethernet interface:

Configuring generic

flow control on an Ethernet interface

You can avoid packet drops on a link by enabling generic flow control at both ends of the link. The flow

control function enables the receiving end to require the sending end to suspend sending packets when
congestion occurs.
An interface implements generic flow control by sending and receiving common pause frames. The

following generic flow control modes are available:

TxRx mode—Enables an interface to both send and receive common pause frames.
