Duplex Mismatch on 1921 -> 3650

Hi SME and Engineers,

I got a duplex mismatch scenario here and need your opinion.

Scenario:

Router:

c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M1.bin
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 description LAN Port
 ip address 103.224.122.49 255.255.255.248
 ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
 duplex auto
 speed 100
 no keepalive proto-up

GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is b0aa.7764.47c1 (bia b0aa.7764.47c1)
  Description: LAN Port

GigabitEthernet1/0/46 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 74a2.e6a9.3aae (bia 74a2.e6a9.3aae)
  Description: Connection Internet Line

The weirdest thing is when the router and switch sets to Full Duplex / 100 Speed, the interface will force a half duplex on both end causing packet lost.

If set to auto duplex, only it will register correctly like the above scenario.

Any ideas? I don't see any particular bugs on these two versions.

Hi why are the set to speed 100 when there gig ports , can you hardcode them to speed 1000 and duplex full , what happes then ? it should work

Hello,

for links between Cisco devices, auto speed and auto duplex is recommended. 

I'll check for bugs...

Hello

My understanding is cisco switches negotiate duplex , So if either side sets an hardcoded duplex the switch port will default to half duplex on 10/100 interfaces and full duplex on 1GB interfaces.

So when you set the duplex to auto, that why is works, and it doesn't when one side is hardcoded
