Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
Use the auto argument only for fixed Fast Ethernet TX ports. In auto-negotiation mode, the switch attempts to negotiate full-duplex connectivity with the connecting device. If negotiation is successful, the port operates in full-duplex mode. If the connecting device is unable to operate in full-duplex, the port operates in half-duplex. This process is repeated whenever there is a change in link status.
Example
This example shows how to set the port to full-duplex mode.
hostname(config-if)# duplex full
