mode
This command sets the interface speed and direction.
Syntax
mode { Auto | 10baseT-FD | 10baseT-HD | 100baseTx-FD | 100baseTx-HD | 1000baseTx-FD | 10000baseTx-FD }
Parameters
Auto- For interfaces that do autonegotiation, the appliance uses standard IEEE 802.3 autonegotiation for interface speed and direction. Preference is given to the highest speed. Preference is for full-duplex over half-duplex. This setting is the default value.
10baseT-FD- Advertises
10BASE-T PHY(10 Mbps) in full-duplex mode. 10baseT-HD- Advertises
10BASE-T PHY(10 Mbps) in half-duplex mode. 100baseTx-FD- Advertises
100BASE-TX PHY(100 Mbps) in full-duplex mode. 100baseTx-HD- Advertises
100BASE-TX PHY(100 Mbps) in half-duplex mode. 1000baseTx-FD- Advertises
1000BASE-T PHY(1 Gbps) in full-duplex mode. 10000baseTx-FD- Advertises
10000BASE-T PHY(10 Gbps) in full-duplex mode.
Guidelines
The mode command specifies the operational mode for the interface. The operational mode is the interface speed and direction. Generally you can retain the default value.
On some appliances, you cannot use this command to modify the operational mode. Because some network equipment might not negotiate properly, you can use this command to set speed and direction explicitly. If you manually configure one end of the link, you must manually configure the other end of the link to the same setting.
On physical appliances, you cannot modify the operational mode for Ethernet interfaces that use 10-gigabit ports. On blades, you cannot modify the operational mode on any Ethernet interface.
