Hi experts!
I run sh int ethx/x command to see port speed whether it is 1 gig or 10 gig. But i confused because it said "Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet" but it also said "full-duplex, 1000 Mb/s, media type is 1G". So it is 1 gig or 10 gig? The interface is connected to a server. Here is the sh int command ( i edited the sensitive part).

I also want to ask how to see the media type whether the interface can be inserted directly by utp or the interface have to use sfp.
Thank you

"Hardware" show the nexus LineCard or Nexus switch supported speed in hardware layer.
" full-duplex, 1000 Mb/s, media type is 1G" display the port real speed.
as you show above , your switch hardware support 1G/10G and this port insert a 1G SFP module
By "show interface status" you can also view the Port Speed and Media Type

Hello sir,
Thank you for your enlighment, if i may add another question, so i just show module in my nexus and find out that my ehternet 3 is 1/10 Gbps Ethernet Module, with the module is https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-7000-series-switches/data_sheet_c78-685394.html
Does it mean that the speed is depending on the transceiver? For example if i want to use 10 gig speed i just buy 10 gig transceiver, if i want 1 gig speed i just use 1 gig transceiver, is that correct?
12-22-2020 11:18 PM
Yes,you are right. real speed depends on the transceiver you used

Hello
sh interface x/x capabilities
will show you what media type/speed etc the interface supports
