    Port Speeds of Virtual Wire Interfaces

    Configure a virtual wire using two ports that operate at the same speed, whether they are both copper, both fiber optic, or one copper and one fiber optic.
    Different firewall models provide various numbers of copper and fiber optic ports, which operate at different speeds. A virtual wire can bind two Ethernet ports of the same type (both copper or both fiber optic), or bind a copper port with a fiber optic port. By default, the
    Link Speed
     of copper ports on the firewall is set to
    auto
    , which means the firewall automatically negotiates their speed and transmission mode (
    Link Duplex
    ). When you Configure Virtual Wires, you can also select a specific
    Link Speed
     and
    Link Duplex
     but the values for these settings must be the same for both ports in any single virtual wire.
