Setting Speed and Duplex for the Management Port
The management port can operate at a variety of speeds and duplex settings. The default
settings are to auto-negotiate with the link partner. For auto-negotiation to succeed, the
management port and the link partner must both be set for auto-negotiating. Otherwise,
the management port attempts to auto-negotiate but could fail if traffic does not match
the auto-negotiated speed.
Use the serviceport speed command in Global Configuration mode to override the auto-
negotiation and set the speed and duplex for the management port using the following
syntax:
serviceport speed [10 | 100] [full-duplex | half-duplex]
The following example forces the management port to run at 100 Mbps half-duplex.
(SafeGuardOS) # configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # serviceport speed 100 half-duplex
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # exit
Use the show serviceport command in Privileged Exec mode to verify the configuration.
See Displaying Configuration Information for the Management Port on page 48.
Use the serviceport auto-negotiate command in Global Configuration mode to override
the speed and duplex settings on the management port. The no version of the command
disables auto-negotiation.
serviceport auto-negotiate
no serviceport auto-negotiate
