476 Configuring Port Characteristics
Configuring Link Dependencies
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to 
configure ports that are dependent on the state of other ports.
duplex {half | full | 
auto}
Configure the full/half duplex operation of a given 
Ethernet interface, or enable duplex auto negotiation. 
Fiber ports must always be configured full-duplex. auto 
negotiation is never used on fiber ports.
mtu

maximum size of a packet.

The 
interface
 variable includes the interface type and 
number, for example gigabitethernet 1/0/3. You can also 
add port channels (LAGs) as members by using the 
keyword port-channel followed by an ID. 
You can also specify a range of interfaces. For example, 
interface gigabitethernet 1/0/8-10,1/0/20 configures 
interfaces 8, 9, 10 and 20.
