Hi,

The default duplex setting is to auto-negotiate.

You can check doing a ''sh int fas 0'' instead than ''sh run int fas0''

thanks federico! i've configured this port for full-duplex and now want to revert back to auto-negotiate (default). could you assist how to revert back?

interface FastEthernet0

ip address X.X.X.X 255.255.255.224
no ip route-cache
no keepalive
speed 100
full-duplex  -->
no cdp enable
end

Try "speed auto" and then "duplex auto".  I believe this IOS is one of those "if it's default, it won't appear" concept.

Hi,

Configure with below mentioned steps for auto configuration

Step 1 Router# configure terminal
Step 2 Router(Config)# interface ethernet 0/11
Step 3 Router(Config-if)# speed auto
Step 4 Router(Config-if)# duplex auto

Hope to Help !!

hi ganesh,

thanks for your inputs! however, this router doesn't support the command you've mentioned. is there a workaround to set the interface to "duplex auto"?

1720(config)#int f0
1720(config-if)#dup?
% Unrecognized command

1720(config-if)#full-duplex ?
 
       
1720(config-if)#half-duplex ?

[Leo Laohoo · Accepted solution]

How about "no full-duplex"?  Make sure you set your speed to auto.

[johnlloyd_13]

awesome! it worked! thank you!

1720(config-if)#no full-duplex ?
