Setting Auto-Negotiation Options
The negotiation auto command provides a mode option for configuring an individual port to forced master/
forced slave after you enable auto-negotiation. 
Table 13-5.  Auto-Negotiation, Speed, and Duplex Settings on Different Optics
Figure 13-27 shows the auto-negotiation options.
Caution: Ensure that only one end of the node is configured as forced-master and the other is configured as 
forced-slave. If both are configured the same (that is, both as forced-master or both as forced-slave), the show 
interface
 command flaps between an auto-neg-error and forced-master/slave states.
