Switch Port Configuration and Verification

Full-duplex communication increases bandwidth efficiency by allowing both ends of a connection to transmit and receive data simultaneously. This results in 100 percent efficiency in both directions, doubling the potential use of the stated bandwidth.

Full-duplex communication allows for bidirectional communication, while half-duplex communication is unidirectional, leading to potential performance issues and collisions.

Switch ports can be manually configured with specific duplex and speed settings using the respective interface configuration commands duplex and speed.
