no delay
Syntax Description
tens-of-microseconds Throughput delay in tens of microseconds. The range is from 1 to 16,777,215.
Command Default
10 microseconds
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Subinterface configuration mode
Command History
Release Modification
4.0(0)N1(1a) This command was introduced.
5.0(3)N1(1) Support for Layer 3 interfaces was added.

switch(config-if)# delay 30000
switch(config-if)#
This example shows how to set a delay of 1000 microseconds on a subinterface:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1.1
switch(config-subif)# delay 1000
switch(config-subif)#

Command Description
interface ethernet (Layer 3) Configures an Ethernet routed interface.
show interface Displays the interface configuration information.
description (interface)
To add a description to an interface configuration, use the description command. To remove the description, use the
no form of this command.
description description
no description
Syntax Description
description String description of the interface configuration. This string is limited to 80 characters.
Command Default
No description is added.
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Subinterface configuration mode

The description command is meant to provide a reminder in the configuration to describe what certain interfaces are
used for. The description appears in the output of the following commands such as show interface and show
running-config.
You can use this command on the following interfaces:
Ethernet interface
Management interface
Subinterfaces
Virtual Ethernet interface
Examples
This example shows how to add a description for an interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)# description "10G Server Link"
switch(config-if)#
This example shows how to add a description for a virtual Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vethernet 1
switch(config-if)# description "Virtual interface"
switch(config-if)#
Related Commands
Command Description
show interface ethernet Displays the interface configuration information.
show interface vethernet Displays the virtual Ethernet interface configuration information.
show running-config Displays the contents of the currently running configuration file.
duplex
To specify the duplex mode as full, half, or autonegotiate, use the duplex command. To return the system to default
mode, use the no form of this command.
duplex { full | half | auto }
no duplex { full | half | auto }
Syntax Description
full Specifies the duplex mode as full.
half Specifies the duplex mode as half.

Command Default
None
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Command History
Release Modification
5.1(3)N1(1) This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines
The interface speed that you specify can affect the duplex mode used for an interface, so you should set the speed
before setting the duplex mode. If you set the speed for autonegotiation, the duplex mode is automatically set to be
autonegotiated. If you specify 10- or 100-Mbps speed, the port is automatically configured to use half-duplex mode,
but you can specify full-duplex mode instead. Gigabit Ethernet is full duplex only. You cannot change the duplex
mode on Gigabit Ethernet ports or on a 10/100/1000-Mbps port that is set for Gigabit Ethernet.
See the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series NX-OS Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide for more information on interface
speed and duplex settings.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to specify the duplex mode for full duplex:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
switch(config-if)# duplex full
switch(config-if)#
Related Commands
Command Description
show interface Displays information about the interface, which includes the duplex parameter.
