Ethernet Port
Configuration
Complete the following tasks to configure an Ethernet port:
Performing Basic
Ethernet Port
Configuration
Three types of duplex modes are available to Ethernet ports:
■ Full-duplex mode (full). Ports operating in this mode can send and receive
packets simultaneously.
■ Half-duplex mode (half). Ports operating in this mode can either send or receive
packets at a given time.
■ Auto-negotiation mode (auto). Ports operating in this mode determine their
duplex mode through auto-negotiation.
Similarly, if you configure the transmission rate for an Ethernet port by using the
speed command with the auto keyword specified, the transmission rate is
determined through auto-negotiation too.
Follow these steps to perform basic Ethernet port configuration:
