available standard Ethernet interface; windows accessed from the individual bridge port menus allow you to configure duplex mode operation for the selected interface only.

NOTE

For Fast Ethernet interfaces, you can set the duplex mode (along with additional parameters associated with auto-negotiation) via the Fast Ethernet Configuration window accessible from both the Module View and Bridge Status port menus. For more information on configuring duplex modes for both standard and Fast Ethernet interfaces at the port level, see Chapter 2. You cannot set the duplex mode for a Fast Ethernet interfaces from the Duplex Modes window described here.

To access the Duplex Modes window:

1.From the Bridge Status window, click on to display the Bridge Status menu.

or

From the Module View window, click on the Bridge label just above the port status display; the Bridge menu will appear.

2.Click to select Duplex Modes..., and release. The Duplex Modes Window, Figure 5-7, will appear.
