• Slave
• Auto-neg Error — typically indicates that both ends of the node are configured
with forced-master or forced-slave.
CAUTION: Ensure that one end of your node is configured as forced-master
and one is configured as forced-slave. If both are configured the same (that
is, forced-master or forced-slave), the show interfaces command flaps
between an auto-neg-error and forced-master/slave states.
You can display master/slave settings with the show interfaces command.
Example
(Master/Slave)
Dell(conf)# int tengig 0/0
