Before manually setting a port to full-duplex mode, verify that the device connected to the port is also manually set to the same speed and duplex setting. If connecting link partners are left to auto- negotiate for a link manually set on this switch to full-duplex, they will always negotiate to half-duplex, resulting in a duplex mismatch. This can result in a significant reduction in network performance. If you are unsure of how to configure the speed/duplex setting, simply enable auto- negotiation for the port.

1000 Mbps connections are always full-duplex. Half-duplex connections are only available for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps settings.
