Since Duplex is not a settable option (at least on
6509 platform) you should not see collisions on either
fiber or copper since it is Full Duplex by default.

Again, 6509 is the only platform I have looked at this
on, if other platforms can change Speed/Duplex on Gig
someone else will half to speak to that. I think Gig
is inherently FDX though.

6509-a (enable) sh port 3/7
Port Name Status Vlan
Duplex Speed Type
----- -------------------- ---------- ----------
------ ----- ------------
 3/7 notconnect 1
full 1000 1000BaseSX

6509-a (enable) set port speed 3/7 1000
Feature not supported on Module 3.
6509-a (enable) set port dup 3/7 full
Feature not supported on Port 3/7.
6509-a (enable)

6509-a (enable) sh port 9/1
Port Name Status Vlan
Duplex Speed Type
----- -------------------- ---------- ----------
------ ----- ------------
 9/1 notconnect 1
full 1000 1000BaseT

6509-a (enable) set port speed 9/1 1000
Feature not supported on Module 9.
6509-a (enable) set port dup 9/1 full
Feature not supported on Port 9/1.
6509-a (enable)
