Chapter 9 Configuring the Switch Interfaces Configuring Switch Interfaces Setting the Interface Speed and Duplex Parameters Note The Ethernet link settings on the CPE Ethernet ports have special considerations and different default settings from the 10/100 ports. For this information, see the "Ports on the 2950 LRE" section on page 10-1. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the speed and duplex mode for a physical interface: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Command Purpose configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode and the physical interface identification. speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | auto| nonegotiate} Enter the appropriate speed parameter for the interface, or enter auto or nonegotiate. Note The 1000 keyword is available only for 10/100/1000-Mbps ports. 100BASE-FX ports operate only at 100 Mbps. 1000BASE-SX ports and GBIC module ports operate only at 1000 Mbps. The nonegotiate keyword is available only for 1000BASE-SX, -LX, and -ZX GBIC-module ports. duplex {auto | full | half} Enter the duplex parameter for the interface. Note The 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, and the 10/100/1000 ports operate only in full-duplex mode for non-LRE switches. The 10/100/1000 ports can run at either full- or half- duplex for 10/100 Mbps but only operate in full-duplex for 1000 Mbps for LRE switches. end Return to privileged EXEC mode. show interfaces interface-id Display the interface speed and duplex mode configuration. copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. Use the no speed and no duplex interface configuration commands to return the interface to the default speed and duplex settings (autonegotiate). To return all interface settings to the defaults, use the default interface interface-id interface configuration command. This example shows how to set the interface speed to 10 Mbps and the duplex mode to half on FastEthernet interface 0/3 and to verify the configuration: Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/3 Switch(config-if)# speed 10 Switch(config-if)# duplex half Switch(config)# end Switch# show running-config Building configuration...

Configuring the Switch Interfaces

Configuring Switch Interfaces

Setting the Interface Speed and Duplex Parameters

Note

The Ethernet link settings on the CPE Ethernet ports have special considerations and different default

settings from the 10/100 ports. For this information, see the

“Ports on the 2950 LRE” section on

page 10-1

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the speed and duplex mode for a physical

interface:

Use the

no speed

and

no duplex

interface configuration commands to return the interface to the default

speed and duplex settings (autonegotiate). To return all interface settings to the defaults, use the

default

interface

interface-id

interface configuration command.

This example shows how to set the interface speed to 10 Mbps and the duplex mode to half on

FastEthernet interface 0/3 and to verify the configuration:

Switch#

configure terminal

Switch(config)#

interface fastethernet0/3

Switch(config-if)#

speed 10

Switch(config-if)#

duplex half

Switch(config)#

end

Switch#

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface

interface-id

Enter interface configuration mode and the physical interface

identification.

Step 3

speed

{

10 | 100 | 1000 | auto| nonegotiate

}

Enter the appropriate speed parameter for the interface, or enter

auto

nonegotiate

Note

The

1000

keyword is available only for 10/100/1000-Mbps

ports. 100BASE-FX ports operate only at 100 Mbps.

1000BASE-SX ports and GBIC module ports operate only at

1000 Mbps. The

nonegotiate

keyword is available only for

1000BASE-SX, -LX, and -ZX GBIC-module ports.

Step 4

duplex

{

auto | full | half

}

Enter the duplex parameter for the interface.

Note

The 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, and the 10/100/1000

ports operate only in full-duplex mode for non-LRE switches.

The 10/100/1000 ports can run at either full- or half- duplex

for 10/100 Mbps but only operate in full-duplex for 1000

Mbps for LRE switches.

Step 5

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

show interfaces

interface-id

Display the interface speed and duplex mode configuration.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
