Interface Speed and Duplex Configuration Guidelines
When configuring an interface speed and duplex mode, note these guidelines:
•
If both ends of the line support autonegotiation, Cisco highly recommends the default auto
negotiation settings.
•
If one interface supports auto negotiation and the other end does not, configure duplex and speed on
both interfaces; do not use the
auto
setting on the supported side.
•
Both ends of the line need to be configured to the same setting; for example, both hard-set or both
auto-negotiate. Mismatched settings are not supported.
