Configuring 10/100 Auto-Sensing Ports
Page 15-6
6. Since you have enabled auto-negotiation, the port will automatically sense the line speed
of the connection. You can also further enable auto-negotiation for the link mode. When
the following prompt displays:
Link Mode [Half or Auto] (Currently (H)alf Duplex) :
select whether you want the port to auto-sense the duplex mode (Auto) or whether you
want the port to default to half-duplex mode (Half). Enter an A for auto-sensing or enter
an H for half-duplex.
If you set the mode to half-duplex, then the port will always run in half-duplex. If you set
the mode to
Auto, then the port will automatically detect whether the connection is half-
or full-duplex and then operate in that mode. You have completed the configuration of
this port.
Connecting Kodiak Modules to Non-Auto-Negotiating Links
The ESX-K-100C-32W can auto-negotiate link speed. However, if you hard-configure (auto-
negotiation disabled) a Kodiak 10/100 module port for 10 Mbps, then you should not connect
that port to a non-auto-negotiating 100 Mbps port or device.
