Configuring Duplex Modes

WARNING

Any standard Ethernet interface on a 9H42x-xx module which is connected to another end station — i.e., another bridge interface — will support Duplex Mode operation. (Ethernet interfaces connected to repeaters will not support this mode.) Enabling Full Duplex mode on an interface allows the interface to receive and transmit packets at the same time, effectively doubling the available bandwidth (and, therefore, the wire speed) on the selected interface. Interfaces which are not set to Full Duplex mode must receive and transmit separately, waiting for one activity to be completed before the other is begun.

For standard Ethernet interfaces, Full Duplex should only be enabled on an interface that has a connection to a single destination address at the other end of the connection (i.e., it is not a segment with an attached repeater cascading the connection to multiple destination addresses).

Full Duplex mode disables the collision detection circuitry at the interface, so that both Transmit and Receive wires can be used simultaneously. With a single destination address at the other end of the connection (for example, if the connection was to a full duplex interface on another switching module, or if a single file server was connected to the full duplex switch port), this essentially doubles the available bandwidth from 10 Mbit/sec to 20 Mbit/sec. Note that the interface at the other end of the connection must also have Full Duplex enabled at the attached interface.

Full Duplex mode must be disabled if the interface is communicating with multiple destinations simultaneously (i.e., if a repeater is cascaded from the interface), since Ethernet relies on Collision Sense for proper operation.

You can configure the duplex mode for each appropriate interface via the Duplex Modes window accessible from both the Module View and Bridge Status window Bridge menus, and via the Port Configuration window accessible from both the Module View and Bridge Status window Port menus. From the Bridge menus, a single window allows you to both display and set the configuration of each
