Speed/Duplex for 1000 Mbps Connections
You cannot preset the speed to 1000 Mbps.
 
To 
run a port at 1000 Mbps, you must enable 
autonegotiation for the port. When 
autonegotiation is enabled, the Switch will 
automatically connect at 1000 Mbps, providing 
the connected device also supports this speed. 
1000 Mbps connections are always full-duplex. 
Half-duplex connections are only available for 
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps settings.
CAUTION: Before manually setting a port to 
full-duplex, verify that the device connected to 
the port is also manually set to the same speed 
and duplex setting. If connecting link partners 
are left to autonegotiate for a link manually set 
on this switch to full-duplex, they will always 
negotiate to half-duplex, resulting in a duplex 
mismatch. This can result in a significant 
reduction in network performance. If you are 
unsure of how to configure the speed/duplex 
setting, simply enable autonegotiation for the 
port.
You cannot modify the speed/duplex settings of 
ports that are members of a trunk or 
aggregated link.
Supported SFP transceivers only operate at 
1000 Mbps full-duplex. Inserting an SFP 
transceiver into a gigabit port disables the 
corresponding RJ-45 port, even if no fiber cable 
is inserted.
