6. From the Port Management Menu, select Port Configurations.
The Port Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 34 on page 80, is
displayed.
7. Select the one of the following duplex modes:
Auto negotiate
This is the default setting. This selection is to configure the speed of
the port that is set automatically by the chassis after it determines the
speed of the end-node connected to the port. Auto-Negotiation is
designed to ensure that the port on the chassis and the end-node are
operating at the same speed and that they are communicating at the
highest possible common speed of the devices.
Half
This selection is to configure that the port can send or receive data, but
not both at the same time. Use this setting if you know that the device
connected to the port supports half-duplex mode.
Full
This selection is to configure that the port can both send and receive
data simultaneously. You can select this setting for a port if you know
that the end-node connected to the port supports full-duplex.

Configuring the
Line Card
Ingress/Egress
Rate Limit
There are certain rules that a chassis follows as it receives and forwards
an Ethernet frame. There are rules for frames as they enter a port (called
ingress rules) and rules for when a frame is transmitted out of a port
(called egress rules). A chassis will not accept and forward a frame unless
the frame passes the ingress and egress rules.
To configure the ingress/egress rate limit on the line card, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Module Status and Configuration.
The Module Status and Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 31 on
page 75, is displayed.
2. Select the line card whose information you want to change.
3. Press
The Module Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 32 on page 77, is
displayed.
4. Select the port that you want to configure.
