(internal) # config port
(port) # edit internal1
(internal1) # show full-configuration
config port
edit "internal1"
set speed auto

10full 10M full-duplex.
10half 10M half-duplex.
100full 100M full-duplex.
100half 100M half-duplex.
1000full 1000M full-duplex.
(internal1) # set speed 100full
(internal1) # end
(internal) # end
