Autonegotiation Modes
Port connection problems can occur when a port is connected to a station that is not operating in a compatible mode (for example, connecting a
a
•If the connected station uses a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible with the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard, the BayStack
•If the autonegotiation feature is not present or not enabled at the connected station, the BayStack
In both situations, the BayStack
To correct this mode mismatch problem:
1.Use the Port Configuration screen to disable autonegotiation for the suspect port (see “Port Configuration” on page
2.Manually set the Speed/Duplex field to match the speed/duplex mode of the connected station (see Table
You may have to try several settings before you find the correct speed/duplex mode of the connected station.
If the problem persists:
1.Disable the autonegotiation feature at the connected station.
2.Manually set the speed/duplex mode of the connected station to the same speed/duplex mode you have manually set for the BayStack
