interfaces duplex
Configures duplex mode. In full duplex mode, the interface transmits and receives data simultaneously. In
half duplex mode, the interface can transmit or receive data at a given time. Auto duplex setting causes the
switch to advertise all available duplex modes (half/full/both) for the port during autonegotiation.
interfaces slot[/port[-port2]] duplex {full | half | auto}

Usage Guidelines
• You can only configure one slot at a time. Repeat the command to configure additional slots.
• Half duplex mode is not supported on Gigabit modules if a port is detected as Gigabit (1000 Mbps).
• Configuration changes made with the interfaces duplex command on combo ports configured as either
forced copper or preferred copper will only be made on the copper RJ-45 ports and not to the SFP fiber
port. See the interfaces hybrid duplex command for more information.
