Setting the Ethernet link rate

Ethernet autonegotiation is often unreliable, especially between different vendors or old and new networking equipment. Failure of autonegotiation is generally not a cause for concern. However, if the negotiated rates change intermittently or the link is reported as no link or down, the link rate may need to be set manually. An interface that "flutters" because of the autonegotiation setting, may cause intermittent voice and data outages.
