Use the duplex half command in Interface Configuration mode to manually set
the duplex mode for half-duplex so that the Ethernet interface can either send or
receive signals, but cannot do both at the same time:
MOT(config-if)#
duplex half
■
The Ethernet Interface default speed is auto-negotiated. Use the speed 100
command in Interface Configuration mode to manually set the Ethernet interface
speed to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps:
MOT(config-if)#
speed [ 10 | 100 ]
Verifying Your Ethernet Configuration
Use the show interfaces ethernet command in any mode to verify the speed and
duplex mode for the Ethernet interface:
MOT(config-if)#
show interfaces ethernet <
X
/
Y
>
where:
X
is 0.
Y
is the Ethernet port number.
Configuring a Loopback Interface
Logical interfaces called a loopback interfaces can be used to act as inbound logical
interfaces when physical interfaces go down. These logical interfaces are always
active and they allow the routing process associated with physical interfaces to stay
active. IP Packets routed to loopback interfaces are rerouted to the appropriate BSR
routing process. IP packets not destined to loopback interfaces are dropped by the
loopback interfaces.
Note: Use the duplex auto command in Interface Configuration mode to
return to the default duplex mode.
Note: Use the speed auto command to return to the default.
