Environment: Cisco Content Security Email Security Appliance (ESA) or Web Security Appliance (WSA), and all versions of AsyncOS.

AsyncOS allows you to change media speed settings based on your network configuration. The command that allows you to set media speed is etherconfig. You have the option to select one of these seven speed settings:

Autoselect
10baseT/UTP half-duplex
10baseT/UTP full-duplex
100baseTX half-duplex
100baseTX full-duplex
1000baseTX half-duplex
1000baseTX full-duplex

Log on to your Cisco Content Security Appliance using CLI and follow the steps outlined here:
