== Port Speed Configuration ==

Arista EOS supports several methods for setting the port speed on an interface, including auto-negotiation and explicit manual configuration.

=== Setting Port Speed Manually ===
To manually set the speed of an interface, use the following command:

<nowiki>
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1
switch(config-if-Et1)# speed 10000</nowiki>

In this example, the port speed is manually set to 10 Gbps (10000 Mbps). The available speed values typically include:

* 10 (10 Mbps)
* 100 (100 Mbps)
* 1000 (1 Gbps)
* 10000 (10 Gbps)
* 25000 (25 Gbps)
* 40000 (40 Gbps)

=== Enabling Auto-Negotiation ===
By default, Arista switches try to automatically negotiate the highest possible speed with the connected device. To enable auto-negotiation, use the following command:

<nowiki>
switch(config-if-Et1)# speed auto</nowiki>

This allows the switch to automatically detect the maximum speed supported by the connected device and set the interface accordingly.

== Duplex Configuration ==

Duplex settings control whether the interface operates in half-duplex or full-duplex mode.

=== Setting Duplex Mode ===
To manually configure the duplex mode of an interface, use the following command:

<nowiki>
switch(config-if-Et1)# duplex full</nowiki>

In this example, the interface is set to full-duplex mode. The other option is half-duplex:

<nowiki>
switch(config-if-Et1)# duplex half</nowiki>

Note that full-duplex mode is typically used for most modern networking environments, as it allows simultaneous two-way communication.

=== Enabling Auto-Negotiation for Duplex ===
Auto-negotiation for duplex mode can be enabled with the following command:

<nowiki>
switch(config-if-Et1)# duplex auto</nowiki>

This setting allows the interface to automatically negotiate the best duplex mode based on the capabilities of the connected device.

== Verifying Port Speed and Duplex ==

To verify the current speed and duplex settings for a specific interface, you can use the following show command:

<nowiki>
switch# show interface ethernet 1</nowiki>

This will display information about the interface, including its speed, duplex, and other relevant statistics. The output may look something like this:

<nowiki>
Ethernet1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Ethernet SFP, address is 00:1c:73:9e:1b:bc
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
Full-duplex, 10Gb/s, link type is auto, media type is SFP+
...</nowiki>

This output shows that Ethernet1 is operating at full-duplex mode with a speed of 10 Gbps.

== Troubleshooting Speed and Duplex Configuration ==

If there are issues with port speed or duplex, check the following:

* Ensure both devices (e.g., switches, servers, routers) are set to the same speed and duplex configuration.
* Verify that cables and transceivers are compatible with the desired speed (e.g., a 10GbE transceiver is needed for 10 Gbps).
* Use the `show interface` command to diagnose mismatched settings or errors.
* In some cases, it may be beneficial to disable auto-negotiation on both ends of the link to force a specific configuration.

Example of troubleshooting output:

<nowiki>
switch# show interface ethernet 1
Ethernet1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Ethernet SFP, address is 00:1c:73:9e:1b:bc
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
Full-duplex, 10Gb/s, link type is auto, media type is SFP+
...
802.3x flow control is enabled
10000 Mbps, full-duplex, auto-negotiation</nowiki>

If you see "auto-negotiation" in the output and experience issues, try setting a fixed speed and duplex configuration.

== Best Practices ==

* Always check that both devices are configured to use the same speed and duplex settings.
* Use auto-negotiation wherever possible to ensure proper compatibility.
* If you're manually configuring ports, ensure that cables and transceivers support the desired speed.
* For higher-speed links (e.g., 10GbE or 40GbE), verify that your network equipment (e.g., servers, NICs) supports these speeds.
