Port Administrative Speeds

By default, the port administrative speed for an interface is automatically calculated by the switch.

Autosensing speed is enabled on all 4-Gbps and 8-Gbps switching module interfaces by default. This configuration enables the interfaces to operate at speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps on the 4-Gbps switching modules, and 8 Gbps on the 8-Gbps switching modules. When autosensing is enabled for an interface operating in dedicated rate mode, 4 Gbps of bandwidth is reserved, even if the port negotiates at an operating speed of 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps.
