174 CHAPTER 22: PORT BASIC CONFIGURATION
Configuring Port
Auto-Negotiation Speed
You can configure an auto-negotiation speed for a port by using the speed auto
command.
Take a 10/100/1000 Mbps port as an example.
■ If you expect that 10 Mbps is the only available auto-negotiation speed of the
port, you just need to configure speed auto 10.
■ If you expect that 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps are the available auto-negotiation
speeds of the port, you just need to configure speed auto 10 100.
■ If you expect that 10 Mbps and 1000 Mbps are the available auto-negotiation
speeds of the port, you just need to configure speed auto 10 1000.
Table 106 Duplex mode setting for an Ethernet port
Port type Duplex mode setting
100 Mbps electrical Ethernet port It can work in full-duplex mode, half-duplex
mode or auto-negotiation mode as required.
Gigabit electrical Ethernet port It can work in full-duplex mode, half-duplex
mode or auto-negotiation mode. However, if
the rate is set to 1000 Mbps, its duplex mode
can be set to full or auto.
100 Mbps optical Ethernet port It works in full-duplex mode and its duplex
mode can be set to full or auto.
