Catalyst 3560 Switch Cisco IOS Commands

Certain ports can be configured to be either full duplex or half duplex. Applicability of this command

depends on the device to which the switch is attached.

If both ends of the line support autonegotiation, we highly recommend using the default autonegotiation

settings. If one interface supports autonegotiation and the other end does not, configure duplex and speed

on both interfaces; do use the auto setting on the supported side.

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.

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)SE1, you can configure the duplex setting when the speed is

set to auto.

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.

This example shows how to configure an interface for full-duplex operation:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1

Switch(config-if)# duplex full

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces privileged EXEC command.
