speed
Caution
Enhanced services (ES) ports do not support 10 or 100 Mbps operation. Setting the speed on an ES port
to
auto
can result in severe data loss if the interface is connected to a 10/100 interface on another switch.
If the speed is set to
auto
, the switch negotiates with the device at the other end of the link for the speed
setting and then forces the speed setting to the negotiated value. The duplex setting remains as
configured on each end of the link, which could result in a duplex setting mismatch.
If both ends of the line support autonegotiation, we highly recommend the default autonegotiation
settings. If one interface supports autonegotiation and the other end does not, manually configure duplex
and speed on the other side; do use the
auto
setting on the supported side.
Caution
Changing the interface speed and duplex mode configuration might shut down and re-enable the
interface during the reconfiguration.
For guidelines on setting the switch speed and duplex parameters, see the “Configuring Interface
Characteristics” chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
Examples
This example shows how to set speed on a port to 100 Mbps:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
speed 100
This example shows how to set a port to autonegotiate at only 10 Mbps:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
speed auto 10
This example shows how to set a port to autonegotiate at only 10 or 100 Mbps:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
speed auto 10 100
You can verify your settings by entering the
show interfaces
privileged EXEC command.
