Reporting the Link Partner Capabilities

TABLE 4-11describes the read-only link partner capabilities.

TABLE 4-11Read-Only Link Partner Capabilities

Parameter	Description
lp_cap_autoneg	0	= No autonegotiation
	1	= Autonegotiation
lp_cap_1000fdx	0	= No 1000 Mbit/sec full-duplex transmission
	1	= 1000 Mbit/sec full-duplex
lp_cap_1000hdx	0	= No 1000 Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission
	1	= 1000 Mbit/sec half-duplex
lp_cap_100fdx	0	= No 100 Mbit/sec full-duplex transmission
	1	= 100 Mbit/sec full-duplex
lp_cap_100hdx	0	= No 100 Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission
	1	= 1000 Mbit/sec half-duplex
lp_cap_10fdx	0	= No 10 Mbit/sec full-duplex transmission
	1	= 10 Mbit/sec full-duplex
lp_cap_10hdx	0	= No 10 Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission
	1	= 10 Mbit/sec half-duplex
lp_cap_asm_pause	0	= Not asymmetric pause capable
	1	= Asymmetric pause towards link partner capability
lp_cap_pause	0	= Not symmetric pause capable
	1	= Symmetric pause capable

If the link partner is not capable of autonegotiation (when lp_cap_autoneg is 0),

the remaining information described in is not relevant and the parameter value = 0.

If the link partner is capable of autonegotiation (when lp_cap_autoneg is 1), then the speed and mode information is displayed when you use autonegotiation and the link partner capabilities.
