Setting a Name to the Fast Ethernet or Giga Ethernet Port
The
name
command, in Interface Configuration mode, assigns a name to the Fast Ethernet or
Giga Ethernet port to facilitate switch administration. The
no
form of the command removes
the port name.
By default, the port has no name.
Command Syntax
device-name
(config-if UU/SS/PP)#
name
NAME
device-name
(config-if UU/SS/PP)#
no name
Argument Description
NAME
String of up to 16 characters which represents the port name. Spaces are not allowed.
Setting Duplex Speed
The
duplex-speed
command, in Interface Configuration mode, specifies the port speed. You
can set the port duplex mode to full or half duplex for Fast Ethernet and Ethernet ports.
The Giga copper ports have
crossover detection
. The crossover detection allows the switch
port to automatically detect transmit and receive polarity of the Ethernet cable (e.g. the type
of the cable is irrelevant).
By default, the switch is configured to use auto-negotiation to determine the port speed and
duplex setting for each port, except for the Fast Ethernet Fiber ports that are set to Full-100.
You can manually configure the duplex setting and the speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps ports.
