Configuring Ethernet Interfaces

Disabling Link Negotiation

Command or Action

Purpose

 

This command can only be applied to a physical Ethernet

 

interface. The speed argument can be set to one of the

 

following:

 

10 Mbps

 

100 Mbps

 

1 Gbps

 

10Gbps

 

automatic

The following example shows how to set the speed for a 1-Gigabit Ethernet port:

switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4 switch(config-if)#speed 1000

Note If the interface and transceiver speed is mismatched, the SFP validation failed message is displayed when you enter the show interface ethernet slot/port command. For example, if you insert a 1-Gigabit SFP transceiver into a port without configuring the speed 1000 command, you will get this error. By default, all ports are 10 Gigabits.

Disabling Link Negotiation

You can disable link negotiation using the no negotiate auto command. By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on 1-Gigabit ports and disabled on 10-Gigabit ports. By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on the Cisco Nexus 3064 and 3064-X switches and disabled on the Cisco Nexus 3048 switch.

This command is equivalent to the IOS speed non-negotiatecommand.

Note Cisco does not recommend that you to enable auto negotiation on 10-Gigabit ports. Enabling auto-negotiation on 10-Gigabit ports brings the link down. By default, link negotiation is disabled on 10-Gigabit ports.
