Step 6. Set the MTU for the interface. Command mtu size Remarks Optional. By default, the MTU of an Ethernet interface is 1500 bytes. Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface You can set an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes: • Full-duplex mode (full)-Interfaces that operate in this mode can send and receive packets simultaneously. • Half-duplex mode (half)-Interfaces that operate in this mode cannot send and receive packets simultaneously. • Auto-negotiation mode (auto)-Interfaces that operate in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with their peers. You can set the speed of an external Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its peer. For a 100-Mbps or 1000-Mbps external Ethernet interface, you can also set speed options for auto negotiation. The two ends can select a speed only from the available options. For more information, see "Setting speed options for auto negotiation on an Ethernet interface." To configure an Ethernet interface: Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter Ethernet interface view. interface interface-type interface-number N/A 3. Set the interface description. description text Optional. By default, the description of an interface is in the format of interface-name Interface. For example, GigabitEthernet1/0/1 Interface. 4. Set the duplex mode of the interface. duplex { auto | full | half } Optional. By default, the duplex mode is full for internal Ethernet interfaces and auto for the other Ethernet interfaces. The half keyword is not applicable to internal Ethernet interfaces and fiber ports. Optional. By default, the speed of an internal Ethernet interface is the maximum rate of the interface, and any other Ethernet interface automatically negotiates a speed with the peer. 5. Set the port speed. speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 | 10000 | auto } The 10 and 100 keywords are not applicable to internal Ethernet interfaces. The 10, 100, and 10000 keywords are not applicable to fiber ports with SFP transceiver modules plugged. The 10, 100, and 1000 keywords are not applicable to fiber ports with SFP+ transceiver modules plugged. The 10000 keyword is applicable to only fiber ports with SFP+ transceiver modules plugged. 2
