speed (Ethernet)

Sets the speed negotiation value on an Ethernet interface.

Syntax

speed { 100 | 1000 | 1000-auto | 1000-auto-full-duplex | 1000-master-full-duplex | 1000-master-half-duplex | 1000-slave-full-duplex | 1000-slave-half-duplex | 10000 | 25000 | 40000 | 100000 | auto }

Command Default

The speed is set to auto .

Parameters

100
Forces the speed to 100 Mbps.
1000
Forces the speed to 1 Gbps.
1000-auto
Forces the speed to 1 Gbps and auto negotiation of clock parameters. (802.3 Clause 37 Auto-Negotiation)
1000-auto-full-duplex
(Supported only on SLX 9150-XT and Extreme 8520-XT) Forces the speed to be 1Gbps in full duplex mode with auto negotiation of clock parameters.
1000-master-full-duplex
(Supported only on SLX 9150-XT and Extreme 8520-XT) Forces the speed to 1 Gbps with full duplex capability and as a clock master.
1000-master-half-duplex
(Supported only on SLX 9150-XT and Extreme 8520-XT) Forces the speed to 1 Gbps with half duplex capability and as a clock master.
1000-slave-full-duplex
(Supported only on SLX 9150-XT and Extreme 8520-XT) Forces the speed to 1 Gbps with full duplex capability and as a clock slave.
1000-slave-half-duplex
(Supported only on SLX 9150-XT and Extreme 8520-XT) Forces the speed to 1 Gbps with half duplex capability and as a clock slave.
10000
Forces the speed to 10 Gbps.
25000
Forces the speed to 25 Gbps.
40000
Forces the speed to 40 Gbps.
100000
Forces the speed to 100 Gbps.
auto
Allows the interface to negotiate the speed setting, advertising its full capabilities and clock type.

Modes

Interface subtype configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use the auto keyword or the no speed command to reset to the default setting.

Examples

The following example changes the speed to 1G.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface Ethernet 0/1
device(config-if-eth-0/1)# speed 1000-auto-full-duplex
device(config-if-eth-0/1)# no shutdown

The following example changes the speed of the interface to 1G, half duplex, and in the slave clock mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface Ethernet 0/2
device(config-if-eth-0/1)# speed 1000-slave-half-duplex
device(config-if-eth-0/1)# no shutdown
