Use this command to specify the duplex mode of operation.

Usage Guidelines
Duplex defines the type of communication used by the port. The switch, by default, is set as auto duplex. In
auto mode the duplex is selected based on the connected network hardware.
Example
RFS7000(config)#interface ge4
RFS7000(config-if)#duplex ?
auto set auto-negotiate
full set full-duplex
half set half-duplex
RFS7000(config-if)#duplex full
RFS7000(config-if)#
NOTE
• Duplexity can only be set for an Ethernet type interface. Enter the
(config-if)
instance using an
ge/me parameter in an interface mode.
• Duplex cannot be set until the speed is set to a non-auto value.
auto Sets the auto-negotiate parameter. Port is in full-duplex mode.
full Sets full-duplex where data can be passed in both direction simultaneoulsy.
