Enabling Custom Autonegotiation Advertisements (CANA)

You can control the capabilities that are advertised by the Ethernet Routing Switch as part of the auto-negotiation process using the Custom Autonegotiation Advertisements (CANA) feature. When autonegotiation is disabled, the hardware is configured for a single (fixed) speed and duplex value. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the advertisement made by the switch is a constant value based upon all speed and duplex modes supported by the hardware. When auto-negotiating, the switch selects the highest common operating mode supported between it and its link partner.
