About auto-negotiation

The default setting for the ETEP enables auto-negotiation, which negotiates the link speed, duplex setting, and flow control. Use the autoneg command if the device that the ETEP connects to from a particular port does not support auto-negotiation or flow control.

It is important to configure the ETEP and the other device the same way. Both devices should either auto- negotiate or be set manually to the same speed and duplex mode. Having one device set manually and the other auto-negotiate can cause problems that make the link perform slowly. When manually setting the ETEP link speed, configure the speed and duplex mode to match that of the other device.

On the management port, the ETEPs can negotiate to the following link speeds:

Table 21 Link speeds on the management port

Link speed	Duplex mode	Auto-negotiate	Fixed Speed
		All ETEPs	All ETEPs
10 Mbps	Half-duplex		
10 Mbps	Full-duplex		
100 Mbps	Half-duplex		
100 Mbps	Full-duplex		
