Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 31
Configuring Interfaces—Descriptions and Examples
FE half-duplex operation is the default. To change to full-duplex operation, use the following series
of commands:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 3/0/0
Router(config-if)# full-duplex
Ctrl-z
Note
Each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX interface on an FEIP can be configured at 100 Mbps,
half duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.
Caution
To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP, we recommend that you do not operate both FE interfaces on
an FEIP in full-duplex mode.
Using the show interfaces fastethernet command, you can see that the 3/0/0 interface is now
configured for full-duplex operation:
Router# sh int fa 3/0/0
FastEthernet 3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
(display text omitted)
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, fdx, 100BaseTX
To return the interface to half-duplex operation, use the no full-duplex configuration command as
follows:
Router# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# int fa 3/0/0
Router(config-if)# no full-duplex
Ctrl-z
Router#
Using the show interfaces fastethernet command, you can see that the 3/0/0 interface is now
configured for half-duplex operation:
Router# sh int fa 3/0/0
FastEthernet3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
(display text omitted)
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, 100BaseTX
