Setting Auto-Negotiation and Advertised Ability

Setting Auto-Negotiation and Advertised Ability

Purpose

To review, disable or enable auto‐negotiation, and to configure port advertisement for speed and duplex.

During auto‐negotiation, the port “tells” the device at the other end of the segment what its capabilities and mode of operation are. If auto‐negotiation is disabled, the port reverts to the values specified by default speed, default duplex, and the port flow control commands.

In normal operation, with all capabilities enabled, advertised ability enables a port to “advertise” that it has the ability to operate in any mode. The user may choose to configure a port so that only a portion of its capabilities are advertised and the others are disabled.

Note: Advertised ability can be activated only on ports that have auto-negotiation enabled.
