NOTE
If the information in the Release Notes that shipped with your switch differs from the information in this
guide, follow the Release Notes.
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. This means that frames can be
transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth that is available on a
link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch autonegotiate for half-duplex or full-duplex operation.
Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode only in accordance with technical
standards.
