The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View
Figure 2-12. Port ConÞguration
Note that, if you select the ConÞguration option available for a Fast Ethernet interface, an
TIP entirely different window will appear; see ConÞguring Fast Ethernet Ports, below, for information on conÞguring these ports.
Use the options in this window to select the desired mode:
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, an interface can only either transmit or receive at any given time, and must wait for one activity to be completed before switching to the next activity (receive or transmit). In this mode, standard wire speeds (10 Mbps for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for FDDI) are available.
Full Duplex
In Full Duplex Mode, an interface can both receive and transmit packets at the same time, effectively doubling the available wire speed to 20 Mbps (for Ethernet) or 200 Mbps (for FDDI).
Be sure to click on 
to set your changes; note that the interfaceÕs current mode can be determined by the Þeld selected in the window.
Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports
If you have any Fast Ethernet NIMs installed in your SmartSwitch 7000 chassis, the Port ConÞguration window available for those ports allows you to both view and set that portÕs available modes. All
