Speed Setting for 10/100Base-TSpeed Setting for 10/100Base-T

When the router is set to auto-negotiation enable, the following is the correct behavior of the NIC with each setting:

1.10mbps Half Duplex

Use parallel detection because the NIC is using force mode and thus has auto-negotiation disabled.

PORs to 10mbps Half Duplex. Resets to 10mbps Half Duplex. Reconnection at switch maintains 10mbps Half Duplex.

2.10mbps Full Duplex

Use parallel detection because the NIC is using force mode and thus has auto-negotiation disabled.

PORs to 10mbps Full Duplex. Resets to 10mbps Full Duplex. Reconnection at switch maintains 10mbps Full Duplex.

3.100mbps Half Duplex

Use parallel detection because the NIC is using force mode and thus has auto-negotiation disabled.

PORs to 100mbps Half Duplex. Resets to 100mbps Half Duplex. Reconnection at switch results in 100mbps Half Duplex.

4.100mbps Full Duplex

Use parallel detection because the NIC is using force mode and thus has auto-negotiation disabled.

PORs to 100mbps Full Duplex. Resets to 100mbps Full Duplex. Reconnection at switch results in 100mbps Full Duplex.

5.NIC in Auto mode in 100mbps FD environment

Use auto negotiation to the highest common local and remote capability, i.e. 100FD in this case.

PORs to 100/FD. Resets to 100/FD. Reconnection at switch remains 100/FD.
