Fast Ethernet Duplex Issues

laitonglek · ‎04-01-2007

Dear Expert,

I was using the Cisco 2811 router, behind it having 2 FE port, when I try to change the mode of the duplex, from half to full, after that we do show interface, it indicate the interface is administrative down. This situation is very weird. Does anyone face this kind of situation before?

Hi

Are you getting the interface down after making the duplex to full ?

did you see any error logs in your router regarding the same ?

Dear spremkumar,

The status show the interface is administrative down, and the connection also lost as well.

sorry during that time forget to see the log.

Hi,

Your interfaces is "up up". If it is as what you said "administratively down", it should show "administratively down down" or did you put it back to its original config or did you took the "show ip int brief" output from the wrong router?

sdoremus33 · ‎04-02-2007

Exactly if you type the command you should see both of the Fa/0 interfaces adminis up/up.

You could maually shut the interface down and bring back up int fa0/0 no shut

fa/01 no shut

Then try the sh ip int br and they should come up

To resolve the problem on the fa0/0 and fa0/1 interfaces, you need to use the "no shutdown" command in the interface mode.
