Setting port speed (autonegotiation)

Setting port speed (autonegotiation)

By default, all of the FortiSwitch user ports are set to autonegotiate the port speed. You can also manually set the port speed. The port speeds available differ, depending on the port and switch.

NOTE: The set speed 1000auto command is required when FN-TRAN-GC is used with a FortiSwitch unit.

Using the GUI:
  1. Go to Switch > Port > Physical and select the port.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Select Auto-Negotiation or the appropriate port speed.
  4. Select Update.
Using the CLI:

config switch physical-port

edit <port>

set speed {1000auto | 100full | 100half | 10full | 10half | auto | 10000cr | 10000full | 10000sr | 1000full | 40000auto | auto-module}

end
