How to set LAN-port speed using swconfig?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
#1

swconfig dev switch0 port 1 set link "speed 100 duplex half" or similar does not work.
I want to set 100MBit/s, half-duplex

You might just need to also turn off auto negotiation. The lines below worked for me to set my WAN port to 100 full duplex (used port 0 and duplex full).

swconfig dev switch0 port 1 set link "duplex half speed 100 autoneg off"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply

Which hardware is that? On an MT7621, any "set link" results in "operation not supported". swconfig help suggests that the link parameters are read only.

root@EdgerouterX:~# swconfig dev switch0 help

It worked for me on a Netgear Nighthawk R7000. In my case I can't only set the speed, I need to specify the duplex mode too. Try with:

swconfig dev switch0 port 0 set link "speed 1000 duplex full"
Or:
swconfig dev switch0 port 0 set link "speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off"
