Command Mode 
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
Available sfp-forced modes include: 
ECS4120-52T:  Ports 49-52 (10G SFP+) support 1000sfp
ECS4120-28T/P:  Ports 25-28 (10G SFP+) support 1000sfp
ECS4120-28F/28F-I:  Ports 25-28 (10G SFP+) support 1000sfp
   Ports 1-24 (1000BASE SFP) support 1000sfp or 100fx
Example
This forces the switch to use the 1000sfp mode for SFP port 28.
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/28
Console(config-if)#media-type sfp-forced 1000sfp
Console(config-if)#
negotiation This command enables auto-negotiation for a given interface. Use the no form to 
disable auto-negotiation.
Syntax 
[no] negotiation
Default Setting 
Enabled
Command Mode 
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage 
◆ 1000BASE-T does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation should always be 
used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or trunk.
◆ The 10GBASE-SFP+ transceivers do not support auto-negotiation. Forced mode 
should always be used to establish a connection over any 10GBASE-SFP port or 
trunk.
◆ When auto-negotiation is enabled
11
 the switch will negotiate the best settings 
for a link based on the capabilities command. When autonegotiation is 
disabled, you must manually specify the link attributes with the speed-duplex 
and flowcontrol commands.
11. Support for auto-negotiation depends on transceiver type, such as 1G SFP.
