Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Setting the Interface Speed and Duplex ParametersConfiguring IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the physical interface to be configured, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 3 speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | auto [10 | 100 |
1000] | nonegotiate}
Enters the appropriate speed parameter for the interface:
10, 100, or 1000—Sets a specific speed for the interface. The
1000 keyword is available only for 10/100/1000 Mb/s ports.
auto—Enables the interface to autonegotiate speed with the
connected device. If you use the 10, 100, or the 1000 keywords
with the auto keyword, the port autonegotiates only at the
specified speeds.
nonegotiate—Available only for SFP module ports. SFP module
ports operate only at 1000 Mb/s but can be configured to not
negotiate if connected to a device that does not support
autonegotiation.
Step 4 duplex {auto | full | half}Enters the duplex parameter for the interface.
Enables half-duplex mode (for interfaces operating only at 10 or
100 Mb/s). You cannot configure half-duplex mode for interfaces
operating at 1000 Mb/s.
Step 5 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show interfaces interface-id Displays the interface speed and duplex mode configuration.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the physical interface to be configured, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Step 3 flowcontrol {receive} {on | off | desired}Configures the flow control mode for the port.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show interfaces interface-id Verifies the interface flow control settings.
