• Administrative Auto Negotiation—Enables or disable auto-negotiation on
the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that
enables a LAG to advertise its transmission speed and flow control to its
partner (the Flow Control default is disabled). It is recommended to keep
auto-negotiation enabled on both sides of an aggregate link, or disabled on
both sides, while ensuring that link speeds are identical.

duplex.
