• Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces that operate in this mode cannot send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Auto-negotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces that operate in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with
their peers.
You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its
peer.
To configure an Ethernet interface:
