Configuring Link Speed and Duplex Mode
By default, Ethernet ports onU575 Ethernet PCI adapters and embedded Ethernet PCI adapters are configured to autonegotiate the best speed for a connection. On a network that operates at 10 or 100 megabits per second (Mbps), automatic settings can result in unreliable connections and inaccurate reporting of link activity and duplex mode. For reliable operation, manually configure the link speed and duplex mode for all Ethernet PCI adapters connected to networks that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
N O T E S
1.For Ethernet adapters or ports connected to networks running at 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), rely on autonegotiation. Do not manually configure
2.Express5800/320Ma systems support
When you manually set these values, make sure that the values are identical for the Ethernet port and the link partner to which it connects, and that the settings for all Ethernet ports in one team are the same.
