4399.0. "MS300: Question about Auto-Configuration" by TBJVOA::OHTANI (NPB-Japan Market Support) Mon May 12 1997 10:12

Hello, I've a quick question about MS300.

MS300 supports or will support Auto-configuration of Full/Half duplex?

    I believe the answer to your question is no.  Currently,
    the MS300 supports auto-sensing of the bandwidth (10/100),
    but does not support auto-negotiation of duplex.  The duplex
    for a port must be set with the console, a telnet session,
    or the GUI management software that comes with the switch.
    
    As far as I know, there is no plan for future hardware
    versions to support auto-negotiation of duplex.
