Question: What's the duplex mode of the ethernet connection on USG FLEX H
Answer:
Network > Interface > Port

Selecting Auto Negotiate allows one port to negotiate with a peer port automatically to obtain the connection speed (of up to 1000M) and duplex mode that both ends support.
When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the Firewall negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode.
If the peer port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Firewall determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode.
When the Firewall's auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.
