%CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH

[Flavio Miranda]

Hi guys,

  I have seen from one of our switch, constantly logs about duplex mismatch:

%CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet

By putting switch interfaces as auto/auto the problem seems be fixed. The question is:

Anybody knows which problem duplex mismath can cause for wireless conectivity or performance ?

thanks in advanced.

Yes.  Duplex mismatch on the physical interface will seriously degrade the wireless traffic.

Wireless, by itself, is already a half duplex medium and you want to introduce a duplex mismatch issue on your physical connection?  It'll slow things down.  A lot!
