Interface Commands

10full - Forces 10 Mbps full-duplex operation

10half - Forces 10 Mbps half-duplex operation

Default Setting

•

Auto-negotiation is enabled by default.

•

When auto-negotiation is disabled, the default speed-duplex setting is 100full on the
1000BASE-T ports.

Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

•

The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation should always be
used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or trunk. If not used, the success of
the link process cannot be guaranteed when connecting to other types of switches.

•

To force operation to the speed and duplex mode specified in a speed-duplex command, use
the

no

negotiation

command to disable auto-negotiation on the selected interface.

•

When using the

negotiation

command to enable auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be

determined by the

capabilities

command. To set the speed/duplex mode under

auto-negotiation, the required mode must be specified in the capabilities list for an interface.

Example
The following example configures port 5 to 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#speed-duplex 100half

Console(config-if)#no negotiation

Console(config-if)#
