Command Usage
â—† 10GBASE-SFP+ connections are fixed at 10G, full duplex. When auto-
negotiation is enabled, the only attribute which can be advertised is flow
control.
â—† The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation
should always be used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or
trunk.
â—† 10GBASE-SFP+ connections are fixed at 10G - full duplex. Auto-negotiation
must be disabled before you can configure or force an RJ-45 interface to use
the Flow Control option.
â—† When auto-negotiation is enabled with the negotiation command
9
, the switch
will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the capabilities command.
When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link
attributes with the speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands.
Example
