Usage 
Information
The following describes the show interfaces gigabitethernet command Example 
below.
Mode Control Indicates if auto negotiation is enabled. If so, indicates the 
selected speed and duplex.
Mode Status Displays auto negotiation fault information. When the interface 
completes auto negotiation successfully, the autoNegComplete 
field and the linkstatus field read “True.”
AutoNegotiation 
Advertise
Displays the control words advertised by the local interface during 
negotiation. Duplex is either half or full. Asym- and Sym Pause is the 
types of flow control supported by the local interface.
AutoNegotiation 
Remote Partner’s 
Ability
Displays the control words advertised by the remote interface during 
negotiation. Duplex is either half or full. Asym- and Sym Pause is the 
types of flow control supported by the remote interface
AutoNegotiation 
Expansion
ParallelDetectionFault is the handshaking scheme in which the link 
partner continuously transmit an “idle” data packet using the Fast 
Ethernet MLT-3 waveform. Equipment that does not support auto-
negotiation must be configured to exactly match the mode of 
operation as the link partner or else no link can be established.
1000Base-T 
Control
1000Base-T requires auto-negotiation. The IEEE Ethernet standard 
does not support setting a speed to 1000 Mbps with the speed 
command without auto-negotiation. E-Series line cards support both 
full-duplex and half-duplex 1000BaseT.
