Item Descri
tion
Auto: Use to automatically configure the port.
Full: The interface supports transmission between the switch and its link partner in
both directions simultaneously.
Half: The interface supports transmission between the switch and its link partner
in only one direction at a time.
CAUTION:
Before manually setting a port to full-duplex mode, verify that the device connected to the port is also
manually set to the same speed and duplex setting. If connecting link partners are left to auto-
negotiate for a link manually set on this switch to full-duplex, they will always negotiate to half-duplex,
resultin
in a duplex mismatch. This can result in a si
nificant reduction in network performance. If you
are unsure of how to configure the speed/duplex setting, simply enable auto- ne
otiation for the port.
1000 Mbps connections are always full-duplex. Half-duplex connections are only available for 10
Mbps and 100 Mbps settings.
