Command Usage
To forceoperation to the speed and duplex mode specified in a speed-
duplex command, use the no negotiation command to disable auto-
negotiation on the selected interface. However, note that auto-negotiation
cannot be disabled on the down-link ports. These ports are fixed at
1000 Mbit/sec, full duplex.
When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the
optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To set
the speed or duplex mode under auto-negotiation, the required mode must be
specified in the capabilities list for an interface.
Example
The following example configures port NETP5 to 100 Mbit/
sec
, half-duplex
operation.
