Configuring a Port Manually
If you have changed the Auto-negotiation status of a port to Manual, as
described in the previous section, you can toggle the link speed from 10Mbps to
100Mbps and back, and toggle the port from half to full duplex and back.
Toggling Port Link Speed
Use the following procedure to toggle the port’s link speed.
1 Access the Port Configuration menu by typing p in the
Configuration menu.
2 Choose a module in the System Module Map.
3 In the Basic Port Configuration Menu, use s, n, or p to
select the port for which you want to set the link speed.
4 Type l to toggle the port’s link speed.
The link speed is changed immediately, and the change is reflected on the Link
Speed line near the top of the Port Configuration menu.
Toggling Half to Full Duplex
Half duplex mode allows transmission in two directions on the same channel,
but only in one direction at a time. Full duplex mode allows transmission in
two directions on the same channel at the same time.

the port is connected must support and be configured for
duplex mode.
Use the following procedure to change the duplex mode setting for a port that is
in Manual status.
