speed (ethernet interfaces)

Configures the port speed on ethernet interfaces.

Syntax

speed [ 40000 | 100000 | auto ]

Parameters

40000
Specifies 40 Gbps port speed.
100000
Specifies 100 Gbps port speed.
auto
Specifies auto detection. This is the default port speed.

Modes

Interface config mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is available only to users with admin role.

This command is supported on Ethernet interfaces.

Speed 40G can be configured only on even numbered interfaces. When speed is configured on even interface, previous odd interface is not be deleted, but will not be available for use.

Table 1. Error messages
Error message Reason
Invalid Speed Valid speed values are 40000, 100000,or auto.
Port 2/15 does not support this config. Only on even numbered ports speed 40 Gbps is supported. Attempt to configure 40Gbps on odd-numbered port.
Speed configuration not allowed on interface 2/16 when FEC is configured FEC is already configured on this interface.

Examples

The following example configures the port speed on Ethernet interfaces.

device# configure terminal  
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1  
device(config-if-mgmt-0)# speed 40000

device# show running-config interface e 1/1 
interface ethernet 1/1 
  speed 40000 
  shutdown

device# configure terminal
device(config-if-eth-2/16)# speed 40000
WARN: Configuring 40G on interface is a disruptive action and will result ports 2/15 to be unavailable for use.

device(config-if-eth-1/2)# speed 10000
Invalid Speed 

device(config-if-eth-2/15)# speed 40000
Port 2/15 does not support this config. Only on even numbered ports speed 40G is supported.

device(config-if-eth-2/16)# speed 40000
Error: Speed configuration not allowed on interface 2/16 when FEC is configured.
