1000—Force 1000 Mbps operation.

10000—Force 10000 Mbps operation.

Default Configuration

Maximum port capability.

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) mode

User Guidelines

The command "no speed" in port-channel context returns each port in the port-channel to its maximum capability.

Example

The following example configures the speed operation of Ethernet g5 to force 100-Mbps operation.

Console(config)# interface ethernet g5

Console(config-if)# speed 100

duplex

The duplex Interface Configuration mode command configures the full/half duplex operation of a given Ethernet interface when not using auto-negotiation. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

duplex {half full}

no duplex

half—Force half-duplex operation

full—Force full-duplex operation

Default Configuration

The interface is set to full duplex.

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode

User Guidelines

Before attempting to force a particular duplex mode on the port operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps, disable the auto-negotiation on that port.
