Media type and duplex mode for interfaces
You can configure the media type and duplex mode (full or half) on an
interface, as shown in Table 4.5.
If the media type does not accept the duplex mode setting, a message
indicates this. If media type is set to
auto
, or if the interface does not accept
the duplex mode setting, the duplex setting is not saved to the
/config/bigip_base.conf
file.
Important
If you manually configure the platform to use specific speed and duplex
settings on interfaces, Auto MDI/MDIX functionality is turned off by default.
Additionally, when an interface is set manually, it functions as a data
communications equipment (DCE) port. This means that crossover cables
are required to connect to other DCE devices (for example, switches or
routers), and straight-through cables are required for connecting to data
terminal equipment (DTE) devices (for example, servers). Be sure to use the
correct cable type (straight-through or crossover) if you manually set
interface speed and duplex settings.
Setting the media type and duplex mode
All interfaces on the BIG-IP system default to auto-negotiate speed and
duplex settings. We recommend that you configure any network equipment
that you plan to use with the BIG-IP system to auto-negotiate speed and
duplex settings. If you connect the BIG-IP system to network devices with
forced speed and duplex settings, you must force the speed and duplex
settings of the BIG-IP system to match the settings of the other network
device.
WARNING
If the BIG-IP system is attempting to auto-negotiate interface settings with
an interface that has the speed and duplex settings forced, you will
experience severe performance degradation.
Use the following syntax to set the media type:
b interface <interface_key> media <media type> | auto
