1000mbps full duplex
Probably confirming my inquiry, but I've noticed you can set port speeds to half or full, 10 or 100mbps, but 1000mbps doesn't have an option of setting full or half duplex. Is there a method/way to force a port at 1000mbps full? The reason I ask as some intermediate equipment we use to link up ethernet connections between sites will not support auto-negotionation. Therefore, we can't use 1Gb links since we cannot force the duplex and speed.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi,
Dell PC 62XX supports only 1000mbps full duplex, therefore you have no duplex option for speed 1000

Hi,
Can you tell me what equipment are you talking about? Normally, gigabit ethernet can run full or half duplex, but my network adapter for example allows only 1000mbps full duplex, so maybe your equipment run 1000mpbs full default.
Also auto-negotiation is required for gigabit ethernet by IEEE standard, it's used not only to determine speed and duplex but to choose master and slave for clocking.
