COMMAND USAGE
â—† Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force a
Gigabit Ethernet interface to use the Speed/Duplex mode or Flow
Control options.
â—† When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated
between the link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set
the speed, duplex mode, or flow control under auto-negotiation, the
required operation modes must be specified in the capabilities list for
an interface.
