• Full-duplex mode (full)—Interfaces operating in this mode can send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Half-duplex mode (half)—Interfaces operating in this mode cannot send and receive packets
simultaneously.
• Auto-negotiation mode (auto)—Interfaces operating in this mode negotiate a duplex mode with
their peers.
Similarly, you can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed
with its peer.
Follow these steps to configure an Ethernet interface:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter Ethernet interface view

—
Set the interface description description text
Optional
By default, the description of an interface is
in the format of interface-name Interface. For
example, GigabitEthernet0/1 Interface.
Set the duplex mode of the
interface
duplex { auto | full | half }
Optional
By default, the duplex mode is auto for an
Ethernet interface.
Fiber ports do not support the half keyword.
Set the port speed
speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 |
auto }
Optional
auto by default.
Fiber ports do not support the 10 and 100
keywords.
Shut down the Ethernet
interface
shutdown

To bring up an Ethernet interface, use the
undo shutdown command.
Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet subinterface
Follow these steps to configure an Ethernet subinterface:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Create an Ethernet subinterface
interface interface-type
interface-number.subnumber
Required
This command also leads you to Ethernet
subinterface view.
Set the interface description description text
Optional
By default, the description of an Ethernet
subinterface is in the format of
interface-name Interface. For example,
GigabitEthernet0/1.1 Interface.
