Command Usage
This command allows you to disable a port due to abnormal behavior (e.g., excessive collisions),
and then re-enable it after the problem has been resolved. You may also want to disable a port for
security reasons.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#shutdown
Console(config-if)#
speed-duplex
This command configures the speed and duplex mode of a given interface when auto-negotiation is
disabled. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
speed-duplex {1000full | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half}
no speed-duplex
1000full - Forces 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation
100full - Forces 100 Mbps full-duplex operation
100half - Forces 100 Mbps half-duplex operation
